Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behaviors. It adds 'Long-running (5-30 min)' as a time estimate, which is useful. However, it omits other critical aspects like whether it overwrites existing containers, required permissions, or system prerequisites.

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?

A single sentence with no filler. It conveys the core action, a key feature, and a time estimate. Every word earns its place.

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 11 parameters, no output schema, and complex semantics, the description is too sparse. It covers only the test toolkit and duration, leaving out return values, error states, and prerequisites. Sibling tools indicate a rich ecosystem, but this description lacks contextual completeness.

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 coverage is 100% (all 11 parameters have descriptions). The description only hints at one parameter ('test toolkit'), adding no extra meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description clearly states 'Create a new Business Central Docker container' with specific verb 'Create' and resource 'container'. The mention of 'with test toolkit' helps distinguish from sibling tools like container-info or start-container, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from all siblings.

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?

The only guideline is 'Long-running (5-30 min)', which sets expectations but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance relative to sibling tools like install-app or restart-container.

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