B3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The annotations already indicate non-read-only, non-destructive, idempotent behavior. The description adds no behavioral context beyond the bare action: no authentication requirements, no side effects, no error conditions, or rate limits. It does not contradict the annotations, but it does not add value either.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is extremely concise, using only two short phrases. It front-loads the action and includes the HTTP method/path. No wasted words, though it is so brief that it borders on under-specification rather than fine conciseness.

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?

For a password-change operation, the description omits essential context such as which user is affected, whether authentication is required, and what data must be sent in the request. The empty schema and sparse description leave an agent uncertain about invocation details. The output schema existence does not compensate for this missing context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has zero properties, so the baseline is 4 as specified for 0-parameter tools. The description does not need to explain parameters, and the empty schema is consistent. However, there is no indication that a request body might be required, which could be a hidden gap, but within the given definition the semantics are clear.

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?

The description states a specific action and resource: 'Change Password.' with the endpoint POST /users/password. This is clear and unambiguous about the operation. It does not explicitly differentiate from siblings, but no other sibling clearly targets password changes, so it is sufficient.

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?

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of typical use cases (e.g., changing the current user's password) or exclusions. An agent receives no help in selecting this tool over other user-related operations.

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