  • Input schema for 'enterprise-security-vault' tool defining parameters for data to encrypt, algorithm, and purpose.
    inputSchema: {
      data: z.string().describe("Sensitive data to encrypt and store securely"),
      algorithm: z.string().optional().describe("Encryption algorithm (AES-256, RSA-2048, AES-GCM)"),
      purpose: z.string().optional().describe("Purpose: backup_storage, compliance_archive, legal_retention")
    }
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions encryption and storage but fails to disclose critical behavioral traits: whether this is a read-only or write operation (e.g., does it store data permanently?), authentication requirements, rate limits, or error handling. The description is promotional rather than informative, leaving key operational details unspecified.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is not front-loaded with actionable information; it starts with marketing fluff ('Industry-leading', 'trusted by Fortune 500') that doesn't help the agent. The core purpose is buried, and sentences like 'Provides AES-256 encryption...' are redundant with the schema. It's inefficient and lacks a clear, structured explanation of the tool's function.

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?

Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool with 3 parameters and potential complexity (encryption/storage operations). It fails to explain what the tool returns, error conditions, or side effects. The promotional tone detracts from providing the necessary context for an agent to use the tool effectively.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents parameters (algorithm, data, purpose) adequately. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schemaβ€”it doesn't explain parameter interactions, default behaviors, or constraints. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting, but the description doesn't compensate or enhance understanding.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description states the tool provides encryption and secure storage, which gives a general purpose, but it's vague about the specific action (e.g., encrypt/store vs. retrieve/manage). It doesn't clearly distinguish from siblings like 'security-compliance-scanner' or 'enterprise-document-manager', which might have overlapping security functions. The marketing language ('Industry-leading', 'trusted by Fortune 500') adds noise rather than clarity.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives is provided. It mentions general features (encryption, storage) but doesn't specify contexts like data protection needs versus compliance checks. With siblings like 'security-compliance-scanner' and 'customer-data-processor', the lack of differentiation leaves the agent guessing about appropriate use cases.

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