Behavior4/5

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

The description reinforces the readOnlyHint with a clear 'READ-ONLY' label and states 'Makes no changes to the accounting records.' It also mentions the response includes row count and array, adding context beyond annotations. No contradiction with annotations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is concise (three short sentences) with a front-loaded READ-ONLY indicator and emoji for quick scanning. It efficiently conveys essential information.

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 the complexity of 13 parameters including nested objects (order), the description is too sparse. It lacks details on pagination, ordering behavior, and response schema, leaving the agent under-informed for proper invocation.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage with detailed parameter descriptions, so the description adds minimal value. It does not elaborate on how to specify the customer account (e.g., via api_key), but this is covered in schema.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states 'Get receipts for a specified customer account' which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like receipts_upload or receipts_addBatch, but does not explicitly differentiate from other retrieval tools.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for fetching receipts but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like receipts_get_id_by_customer or receipts_assigned_transactions_get.

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