Read-onlyIdempotent

Compare 14-day snow forecasts across 7 weather models to identify model agreement and uncertainty for a resort, helping assess forecast reliability.

Instructions

Compare 14-day snow forecasts across 7 weather models (ECMWF, GFS, GEM, JMA, ICON, Météo-France, Met Norway) for a resort. Shows model agreement and uncertainty. Use for forecast reliability queries.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already show readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, but description adds that it shows model agreement and uncertainty, which are behavioral details beyond annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two concise sentences with front-loaded purpose and clear usage. Every word adds value.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given output schema exists, description fully covers purpose, models, and output nature. No missing behavioral info.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Only one parameter 'slug' with schema description 'Resort slug to compare forecasts for'. Description adds no extra meaning beyond schema; baseline 3 due to 100% schema coverage.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Description clearly states verb 'compare', resource '14-day snow forecasts across 7 weather models', and purpose 'forecast reliability queries'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like get_weather_forecast (single model).

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly says 'Use for forecast reliability queries.' Implicitly distinguishes from single-model tools but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or direct alternatives.

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