get_new_formations

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

No annotations provided. Description lacks disclosure of behavior like pagination, error handling, or default limit effects. Only mentions date format.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose and usage context. No redundant or unnecessary words.

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?

Despite an output schema, description is too brief for a 3-parameter tool. Doesn't explain what the returned data contains or how parameters interact.

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?

Adds meaning for 'since' parameter (YYYY-MM-DD format) but does not explain 'state' (unclear filter) or 'limit' (default 100). Incomplete coverage for 0% schema coverage.

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?

Name and description align: 'Get businesses formed since a given date' clearly indicates retrieving new formations. Useful for sales prospecting. Distinct from siblings like search_businesses or get_business_detail.

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?

Only mentions 'useful for sales prospecting,' implying context but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use compared to siblings.

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