megalaunch_pricing

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool retrieves pricing, implying a read-only operation, but doesn't specify if it requires authentication, has rate limits, returns real-time or cached data, or handles errors. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the purpose ('Get current pricing') and includes essential details (resource and package types). There is no wasted language, and it is appropriately sized for a tool with no parameters, making it easy to scan and understand quickly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally complete. It covers the purpose and resource but lacks behavioral details (e.g., authentication needs, data freshness) and usage guidelines. For a read-only tool, this is adequate but leaves gaps that could hinder an agent's effective use without additional context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description adds value by specifying the resource (token launch packages) and package types (Basic and Premium), which provides context beyond the empty schema. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4, as it adequately compensates for the lack of parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Get current pricing') and resource ('token launch packages'), specifying the package types (Basic and Premium). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like megalaunch_create_order or megalaunch_get_order by focusing on pricing rather than order management. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from megalaunch_status, which might also provide pricing-related information.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites, such as needing authentication or account status, or when to choose it over siblings like megalaunch_status for pricing inquiries. Usage is implied (e.g., to check prices before creating an order), but no explicit context or exclusions are stated.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
