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

The description adds 'Local browser processing,' a useful behavioral trait not captured in annotations (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false). This informs the agent that no data leaves the browser, which is valuable privacy context. It does not describe output format, but annotations already cover the safety profile.

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 core purpose is stated in one front-loaded sentence, followed by two brief contextual notes. The double period after 'expenses' is a minor typo, and the canonical URL is extraneous but not harmful. It is concise and well-structured.

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?

For a simple generator with five optional parameters, complete schema, and an output schema present, the description covers the essential purpose and a key behavioral note (local processing). The missing usage guidelines are a gap but do not prevent correct invocation.

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 100% and every parameter has a description. The description's phrase 'categorized revenue and operating expenses' loosely maps to the operatingExpenses array's category field but adds little beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate given full schema coverage.

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 tool builds income statements with categorized revenue and operating expenses. This is a specific verb+resource pairing that distinguishes it from siblings like balance_sheet_maker or cash_flow_projection. The mention of categorization adds precision.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus the many financial siblings (tax estimator, cash flow projection, etc.). There is no mention of alternatives, exclusions, or context that would help an agent route to this tool over others.

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