Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but fails to disclose any behavioral traits. It doesn't indicate whether this is a read-only operation, what permissions are required, how errors are handled, or what the response format might be. This leaves critical behavioral aspects completely unspecified.
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 maximally concise with just three words, though this brevity comes at the cost of completeness. There's no wasted language or unnecessary elaboration, making it efficiently front-loaded despite being under-specified.
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?
For a tool with no annotations, no output schema, and 0% parameter documentation, the description is completely inadequate. It doesn't compensate for the missing structured information, leaving the agent with insufficient context to understand what the tool does, how to use it properly, or what to expect in return.
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 schema has 0% description coverage for the single parameter 'id', and the tool description provides no additional parameter information. While only one parameter exists, the description fails to explain what 'id' represents (e.g., route identifier format, where to find it) or any constraints, leaving parameter meaning entirely undocumented.
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 'Get a route' is a tautology that merely restates the tool name without adding meaningful context. It doesn't specify what a 'route' represents in this domain or what information is retrieved, making it minimally informative beyond the obvious verb-noun pairing.
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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get--v3-routes' (which appears to list routes) or other domain-specific tools. The description offers no context about prerequisites, typical use cases, or distinctions from sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
