docs_quickstart

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

Describes what the tool returns (instructions, config templates, links) and implies a read-only operation. Lacks mention of any authentication or access requirements, but given the nature of a quickstart guide, this is a minor gap.

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?

Three sentences, each with clear purpose: definition, usage guidance with exclusions, and output description. No wasted words, well-structured and front-loaded.

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?

Fully covers the tool's purpose, when to use, what it returns, and exclusions. No missing information given the simplicity of the tool (no params, no output schema).

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?

No parameters exist, so baseline is 4. Description correctly states 'No parameters required' and does not need to add parameter meaning.

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?

Clearly states the tool retrieves the 5-step onboarding guide as structured JSON data. Distinguishes from siblings by explicitly excluding use for searching or availability checks.

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?

Provides explicit when-to-use (helping a new organization join) and when-not-to-use with alternative tool names (registry.search, scheduling.check_availability).

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