rental_generate_rent_roll

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 'generate' but doesn't clarify if this is a read-only operation, what permissions are needed, whether it modifies data, or what the output format is (e.g., report type, structure). For a tool with no annotations, 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 directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It's front-loaded and appropriately sized for the task, earning a high score for conciseness.

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 complexity of generating a report, no annotations, no output schema, and incomplete parameter documentation (50% schema coverage), the description is insufficient. It doesn't address behavioral aspects, output details, or usage context, making it inadequate for an agent to fully understand how to invoke and interpret results from this tool.

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?

Schema description coverage is 50%, with 'asOfDate' documented but 'propertyId' not described in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond the schema, such as explaining what a 'propertyId' represents or how the 'asOfDate' affects the report. With partial schema coverage, the description doesn't compensate for the undocumented parameter, resulting in a baseline score.

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 verb ('generate') and resource ('rent roll report for a property'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'excel_create_rent_roll' or 'rental_project_cash_flow', which might have overlapping or related functionality.

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, such as 'excel_create_rent_roll' or other analytics tools in the sibling list. It lacks context about prerequisites, typical scenarios, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage based on the tool name alone.

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