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. It mentions analysis and extraction but lacks details on what happens during processing (e.g., whether it modifies the file, requires specific permissions, has rate limits, or returns structured data). For a tool with no annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior.

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, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action and outcome without unnecessary words. Every part earns its place by specifying the resource, action, and result, making it appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (analyzing PDFs for health data), no annotations, no output schema, and minimal parameter details, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what health metrics are extracted, the format of recommendations, error handling, or dependencies, leaving the agent with insufficient context for reliable use.

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?

The description implies a PDF file is needed but doesn't add meaning beyond the input schema, which has 0% description coverage. The schema only documents 'filePath' as an absolute path, and the description doesn't elaborate on file requirements (e.g., format specifics, size limits) or how the analysis works. With one parameter and low schema coverage, the description provides minimal compensation, meeting the baseline.

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 states the verb 'analyze' and resource 'bioimpedance PDF document', along with the outcome 'extract health metrics with recommendations'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'analyze_bioimpedance_pdf_base64' by specifying the input format (PDF file vs. base64), but doesn't explicitly differentiate from other unrelated siblings like ticket or FAQ tools.

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. It doesn't mention when to choose this over 'analyze_bioimpedance_pdf_base64' (e.g., for local files vs. encoded data) or other siblings, nor does it specify prerequisites like file format requirements or when this analysis is appropriate.

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