Instructions

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesURL to preview (http:// or https://; literal private/loopback/reserved IPs rejected)
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, indicating safe read and external interaction. The description adds no further behavioral context (e.g., that it performs an external HTTP request). The schema note about rejecting private IPs is a constraint but not in the description. Overall adequate but not enhanced.

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 that is concise and front-loaded. No unnecessary words; every part contributes to understanding the tool's function.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple read-only tool with one parameter, the description is complete, listing the returned metadata fields. Could mention external fetching, but overall sufficient.

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% with detailed description of the 'url' parameter. The description mentions the return fields but adds no parameter-relevant meaning beyond the schema. Baseline score appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Fetch' and the resource 'web-page preview metadata', listing specific fields (type, title, description, site name). This distinguishes it from all siblings, none of which fetch web previews.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description implies usage when needing preview metadata for a URL. It does not explicitly state when not to use or provide alternatives, but the context of siblings makes its purpose clear without ambiguity.

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