Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so the description must carry full burden. It describes a read operation ('get', 'returns') but doesn't confirm non-destructive behavior, permissions, or whether it modifies any state. For a suggestion tool, read-only intent is implied but not explicit.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two short sentences with clear verb-object structure. Efficient and front-loaded, but could be slightly more informative without bloating.

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

Completeness2/5

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

No output schema and no description of return format (e.g., list of strings, with scores?). Lacks prerequisites (e.g., ad group must exist). For a suggestion tool, agents need more context about expected output and usage preconditions.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with minimal descriptions ('Ad Group ID', 'Campaign ID'). The description adds context that the suggestion is for an ad group, but doesn't explain how the parameters relate or any constraints. Meets baseline but adds limited value beyond schema.

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

Purpose4/5

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

Clearly states it gets keyword suggestions for an ad group, distinguishing from sibling tools like get_keyword (existing) or bulk_create_keywords (adding). The description specifies the resource and action, though could be more precise about suggestion basis (e.g., 'based on ad group listings').

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like ebay_suggest_bids, ebay_get_keywords, or ebay_bulk_create_keywords. The description provides no context for tool selection among numerous keyword siblings.

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