fcsc_search_dataset

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered and the description is not obligated to restate it. But the description adds nothing at all beyond the name: no pagination/result-window behavior, no auth or rate-limit context, no note that an empty query returns recent datasets.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler and no redundancy. It is efficient, though arguably undersized for a four-parameter search tool whose result semantics matter.

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?

An output schema exists and annotations are rich, so return values and safety need not be described. What is missing is routing context against fcsc_get_dataset and the other search siblings, plus any note on paging through large result sets.

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%, so rows, query, start, and organization are each already documented with defaults and formats. The description contributes no additional parameter meaning, so the baseline 3 for schema-complete tools applies.

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 a specific verb and resource ('Search the FCSC UAE federal open data portal for datasets'), which is clear enough to call. However, it never distinguishes itself from close siblings like fcsc_get_dataset, fcsc_list_organizations, or data_dubai_search, so the agent must infer which catalog and which operation applies.

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 description gives no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no named alternatives. There is no hint that fcsc_search_dataset is the discovery step that should precede fcsc_get_dataset for full record retrieval.

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