netintel_domain_vet

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does disclose the shape of the result ('ranked verdict on which to use and whether it's safe to build on') and that the brand check is 'factual', but it says nothing about cost, latency, rate limits, or whether the check is purely read-only. Adequate for a read-style vetting call, but incomplete.

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?

Front-loaded with a clear verb and efficient single sentence, but the text is visibly truncated ('...check against…'), so the definition is cut off rather than tight. Conciseness is undermined by incompleteness.

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?

No output schema, no annotations, and 0% parameter coverage, yet the description largely conveys what comes back (ranked verdict, availability, quality, typosquat, brand collision). It leaves parameter semantics and explicit tool selection unaddressed, which is a real gap for a 4-param tool in a crowded domain-tool family.

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 coverage is 0% across four parameters. The description only implies 'candidates' and 'tlds'; it gives no meaning for 'use_case' or 'deep_check_top_n', which are the parameters most likely to change behavior (depth of analysis). The description does not compensate for the schema gap.

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?

States specific verbs (vet, pick) and resource (domain), and enumerates the outputs: availability across TLDs, name quality, typosquat exposure, brand-collision check. This distinguishes it from narrower siblings like netintel_domain_availability or netintel_typosquat, though it doesn't explicitly name those alternatives.

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 phrase 'in one call' implies the tool consolidates several checks that could otherwise be run separately, and 'give candidate names' implies the pre-registration naming stage. However, there is no explicit when-to-use vs when-to-use-something-else guidance against the many competing domain siblings.

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