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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It explains legal context and risk categories but does not describe the tool's runtime behavior (e.g., side effects, limits of advice, how results are returned). The schema covers per-action semantics, but the description adds only domain background.

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 well-organized with clear sections and a front-loaded main purpose. It is somewhat lengthy, but every section earns its place by providing necessary legal context; the structure aids scanning.

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?

The description offers deep legal context and risk-level definitions, making it suitable for a complex legal tool. It doesn't explain return values, but an output schema is present, so that is covered. It's thorough but could be slightly more explicit about tool limitations.

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 baseline is 3. The description's legal context and risk levels add meaning beyond the schema by helping interpret how parameters like content_type and country affect risk assessment, thus enriching parameter understanding.

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 tool is for 'Austrian copyright compliance' and describes it as a 'portmanteau' consolidating legal operations. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools beyond the name and general focus; the distinction is implicit.

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 extensive legal context and risk levels, implying when to use the tool (e.g., personal downloads in Austria). It does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternative tools, leaving the 'when vs alternatives' guidance to inference.

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