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

With no annotations, the description relies on its own content. It discloses that the tool returns static fee and timeline data, which is sufficient for a simple informational tool. No contradictions noted.

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 extremely concise with only two sentences, immediately stating the tool's purpose and providing specific numerical details. No wasted words.

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?

Given the tool has no parameters and a likely straightforward output (static text), the description is complete enough. It provides concrete fee amounts and timeline, satisfying the tool's stated purpose.

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?

Input schema has 0 parameters, so no parameter description is needed. The description does not attempt to add parameter info, which is appropriate.

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 uses a specific verb ('Return') and clearly identifies the resource ('MOIAT registration fees and timeline for Halal Certification Bodies'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'halal_certification' which likely covers broader topics.

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 implies usage for querying fees and timeline but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as the closely named 'halal_certification' sibling tool.

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