QueryDocumentChecks

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Retrieve' implies a read-only operation, but the description does not say what the response contains, whether permissions are needed, whether results are paginated, or what kind of 'check details' are returned.

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 description is a single sentence with no filler, and the verb plus resource are front-loaded. For a zero-parameter tool, this is appropriately 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?

The tool is trivial to invoke because it takes no arguments, but there is no output schema and the description does not explain what details are returned. Given the large sibling tool set, a bit more context about the exact scope of the returned verification checks would make it complete.

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?

The input schema has zero parameters, so there is no parameter meaning for the description to clarify. With 100% schema coverage and an empty properties object, parameter semantics are essentially a non-issue.

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 names a specific action ('Retrieve') and a specific resource ('Document Verification Check Details'). It is clear about what the tool does, but it does not distinguish it from sibling tools such as QueryDocument, QueryDocumentFull, or VerifyDocument.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no stated prerequisites, and no exclusions. An agent is given no help deciding between QueryDocumentChecks and the other document-query/verification siblings.

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