Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate mutation (readOnlyHint=false), non-destructiveness (destructiveHint=false), and idempotency (idempotentHint=true). The description adds no additional behavioral context, so score is baseline.
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 very brief (one sentence) and front-loaded, but it sacrifices necessary detail; not an example of effective conciseness.
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 no output schema and many sibling tools, the description is insufficiently complete. It omits return value, parameter details, and usage context, leaving gaps.
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 coverage is 0% and the description provides no explanation for the two parameters: 'body' (what format? ID or name?) and 'visible' (what values mean?). This leaves the agent guessing.
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 'Show or hide a body' uses a specific verb ('show or hide') and resource ('body'), clearly distinguishing it from siblings like 'fusion_delete_body' or 'fusion_move_body'.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool instead of alternatives (e.g., deleting or moving a body), nor about prerequisites (body must exist). With many sibling tools, this lack of context reduces usefulness.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
