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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only offers minimal detail. It doesn't state output format, units, default network behavior, or any side effects. The phrase 'for different speed tiers' is the sole behavioral hint.

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?

The description is a single, concise sentence (9 words) that is front-loaded with the action and core purpose. Every word contributes meaning; there is no fluff or redundancy.

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?

The tool is simple (one optional parameter, no output schema, no annotations), and the description gives a basic idea of what it does. However, it omits important context for an agent, such as the return structure, what speed tiers are included, or how it compares to similar tools, leaving moderate gaps.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the input parameter 'network' is fully documented. The description adds no extra parameter semantics (e.g., what 'network' values are valid or how speed tiers relate to the parameter), so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly identifies the verb ('Get') and resource ('gas price recommendations'), and specifies the qualifier 'for different speed tiers,' which conveys a distinct purpose. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_gas_prices_all_chains' or 'get_eip1559_fees.'

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There are many gas-related sibling tools (e.g., 'get_gas_price', 'defi_get_chain_fees') but no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or when to prefer this one.

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