get_seo_audit

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It does disclose the audit's content domains and that results come back as per-check status plus issues, which is meaningful. However, it does not say whether a prior scan is required, what happens if no audit exists, or whether the operation is strictly read-only.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with the action and resource established before the enumerative parenthetical. The long list of audit areas is dense but each item contributes to scope; nothing is wasted.

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?

No output schema exists, so the description is responsible for describing return values, and it does so at a useful level ('per-check status and issues'). It is nearly complete for a read-only audit retrieval tool; the main omission is the prerequisite or empty-state behavior when no prior audit exists.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, and the schema already explains that site_id is an alternative to url. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb ('Get') and a specific resource ('latest technical SEO audit for a monitored website'), then enumerates the audit domains covered. That scope distinguishes it from siblings such as scan_site (which would run a scan) and get_raw_audit (raw data rather than audit results).

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 word 'latest' implies this reads an existing audit rather than triggering a new scan, which is a useful implicit contrast with scan_site. But there is no explicit when-to-use/when-not-to-use guidance and no mention of siblings like get_raw_audit or get_recommendations.

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