v0.1.5Does 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 by structured data. The description adds nothing beyond that — no mention of rate limits, ID format expectations, or behavior on a nonexistent ID.
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 short sentence with no filler, and the resource is front-loaded. It is efficient but so terse that it omits anything that would earn its place beyond the name.
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 lookup tool with no output schema, one undocumented parameter, and no annotations gap to fill, the description should at least indicate what an album record includes or what a bad ID yields. As written it is barely more informative than the tool name.
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?
There is one parameter with 0% schema description coverage; the schema only says 'id' is a number. The description adds 'by ID' but does not clarify whether this is a Deezer-native numeric album ID or whether IDs from search results are directly reusable, leaving the sole parameter under-specified.
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 ('Get a Deezer album') and scopes it to lookup by ID, which distinguishes it from deezer_search. However, it does not differentiate from deezer_get_track or deezer_get_artist beyond the noun, and offers no note on what an album payload contains versus a search result.
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 versus deezer_search (e.g., when you already have an album ID from a prior search result). The reader must infer that an ID is required first and must come from elsewhere.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
