Behavior2/5

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

The description adds the authorization class 'board' beyond annotations, but does not disclose side effects, error conditions, or return value behavior. Annotations already indicate non-readonly, non-destructive, non-idempotent, but the description adds minimal behavioral context.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is very short (two lines), which is concise but at the expense of meaningful content. It lacks essential details but is not overly verbose.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description does not hint at what the response contains. Nested parameters are undocumented. For a creation tool with complex schema, this is insufficient for an agent to use correctly.

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

Parameters1/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate but provides no information about parameters (body, path) or their nested fields, constraints, or enums. The agent gets no guidance on what to populate.

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 clearly states 'Create a user secret definition' and includes the HTTP method and endpoint, providing a specific action and resource. However, it does not differentiate from other 'create' tools or explain what a user secret definition is.

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 on when to use this tool versus other secret-related tools (e.g., pc_post_companies_by_company_id_secrets) or when not to use it. No context on prerequisites or alternatives.

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