B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It states 'generate and download' but omits details about output format (binary PDF), potential side effects, or access requirements. The description does not explain whether generating a PDF consumes quotas or requires specific permissions.

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?

The description is brief and front-loaded with the core purpose. The Args section is structured but adds redundancy. Overall, it is reasonably concise with minimal fluff.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool has 2 required parameters and an output schema, the description minimally addresses context. It explains what the tool does and its inputs, but lacks guidance on error handling, retrieval of report_id, or output expectations beyond the schema. The output schema exists but the description does not reference it.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The Args section provides minimal descriptions ('identifier of the Submission/Report definition'), which adds some value beyond the bare schema. However, with 0% schema description coverage, the description does not fully compensate, leaving ambiguity about parameter format, constraints, or how to obtain valid IDs.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the action (generate and download), the resource (Report PDF for a Submission), and the key identifier (Report id). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like get_submission_default_pdf and get_submission_standard_pdf which handle different PDF types.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for specific report PDFs but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this versus sibling tools like get_submission_default_pdf. No when-not or alternative conditions are stated.

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