v0.1.5Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds no behavioral context such as authentication needs, rate limits, error behavior, or return shape, so it restates the operation without enriching the agent's behavioral model.
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 wasted words. For a simple lookup tool, this is appropriately concise.
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 simple single-parameter lookup with rich safety annotations and no output schema, the description is usable but incomplete. It omits return shape and ID acquisition details that would help an agent call it correctly.
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?
With one parameter and 0% schema description coverage, the description should explain the ID. It identifies it as a Deezer artist ID, which adds some meaning beyond the bare schema property, but it does not say where to obtain the ID or what happens if it is invalid.
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 states a specific verb ('Get'), resource ('Deezer artist'), and lookup key ('by ID'). It is clear, but it does not name or distinguish the likely alternative deezer_search, so a 4 rather than 5.
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 versus deezer_search or deezer_get_track/deezer_get_album, nor how to obtain the ID. 'By ID' implies the prerequisite but gives no alternatives or exclusions, matching the no-guidance anchor.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
