lying_flat_report

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

No annotations, but description discloses cost ($0.02 USDC per request) and implies read-only analysis; no mention of authentication, rate limits, or data sources.

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?

Single sentence with cost note; concise but could be better structured (e.g., separate cost line).

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; description does not specify return format, data structure, or example response, leaving significant gaps for a report-generating 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 coverage 100% with enum parameter; description adds context on impacts but does not map directly to enum values, providing minimal added meaning.

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 analyzes the lying-flat phenomenon and its impacts on consumer behavior, birth rate, and economic implications, distinguishing it from sibling tools like asia_news_api or china_real_estate_2026.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives; lacks context for selecting among sibling Asia-focused tools.

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