get_regulatory_deadlines

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the tool is known to be safe and idempotent. The description adds context about the fiscal year and regulatory scope but no additional behavioral traits like pagination, caching, or update frequency. 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.

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

Two concise sentences. The first clearly defines the tool's purpose, and the second states practical use cases. No superfluous words, well-structured.

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 simplicity (3 optional parameters, no required fields) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers purpose and usage adequately. It is complete for its complexity.

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%, so the input schema already fully documents the three parameters (category, from_date, to_date). The description does not add any additional meaning or usage hints beyond what the schema provides, so baseline score 3.

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 'Get' and the specific resource 'India's tax & regulatory compliance calendar for FY2025-26'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools, which are mostly calculations and validations, by being a calendar query tool.

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?

Explicitly lists use cases: 'planning tax compliance schedules, setting reminders for deadlines, or building financial compliance dashboards'. While it doesn't mention when not to use, the context is clear and no alternatives are obvious among siblings.

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