C2.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that: no mention of auth requirements, result caps, rate limits, or that results come from a remote third-party index.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero waste, but the brevity reflects under-specification rather than disciplined economy. There is no second sentence doing useful work.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For an open-world remote API tool with an undocumented api_key parameter, no output schema, and no indication of return shape or match behavior, the description leaves an agent guessing on nearly everything beyond the resource name.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate and does not. It never explains what 'query' accepts (brewery name, partial match, location?) or that 'api_key' is an authentication credential rather than a search filter.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource ('Search for breweries') and names the data source (Untappd), distinguishing it from untappd_search_beer and untappd_beer_activities by resource type. It does not explicitly contrast with untappd_get_brewery, but the search-vs-fetch distinction is implicit in the verb.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this search versus untappd_get_brewery or the other Untappd siblings. An agent looking up a brewery by known name/id has no information here to decide whether search is the right entry point.

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