Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. Description adds 'cluster-wide' scope and 'scheduled' qualifier, but no additional behavioral traits like authentication needs, rate limits, or pagination. Adds some value 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?

Single sentence of 5 words, zero waste, front-loaded information. Maximally concise while being informative.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a tool with no parameters, no output schema, and comprehensive annotations, the description is adequate. It specifies what is listed and the scope. Could mention read-only nature, but annotations already cover that.

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

Parameters4/5

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

No parameters in input schema (100% coverage). Description adds no parameter info, which is appropriate. Without parameters, baseline is 4.

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 it lists all scheduled vzdump backup jobs cluster-wide, using specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from siblings like list_backups and list_jobs by specifying 'scheduled vzdump backup jobs' and 'cluster-wide'.

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?

Clear context provided (scheduled backup jobs, cluster-wide), but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus list_jobs or list_backups. Implied usage is adequate, but direct exclusion of alternatives would improve clarity.

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