B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new context by naming the required API key scope (accounts:read) and the backing endpoint (GET /proxies), which helps with auth planning and error diagnosis. It does not disclose result volume, ordering, or pagination.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three short lines with zero waste: purpose first, then the auth prerequisite, then the endpoint. Nothing is repeated from the annotations and nothing is padding.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, auth scope, and endpoint, which is close to sufficient. It leaves open whether the list is bounded or paginated, which matters for an agent deciding whether one call suffices.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; the baseline applies. The stated scope requirement is the only call-time prerequisite and it is captured.

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 pairs a concrete verb and resource ('List proxies'), and the name plus sibling set (create_proxy, update_proxy, delete_proxy, test_proxy) makes the read-only listing role obvious. It stops short of saying what a proxy record contains, so an agent knows the operation but not the payload.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance: nothing says whether this is the entry point for discovering proxy IDs before calling update_proxy or test_proxy, nor whether results are paginated or filterable. The only implied usage comes from the verb 'List'.

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