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

Discloses key behaviors: prefix enforcement, refusal to misrepresent kinds, accepted formats, and error handling instructions, which is useful given no annotations.

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?

Single paragraph, front-loaded with purpose, no wasted words; efficient and structured.

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?

Covers core behavior but omits optional parameter details and usage guidelines, leaving it incomplete for a 5-parameter tool with no schema parameter descriptions.

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?

Explains semantics for 'code' (accepted formats) and 'kind' (must match prefix), but does not address 'start', 'end', or 'refresh', leaving gaps despite 0% schema coverage.

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 it fetches a Z.1 Financial Accounts series with enforced prefix semantics, providing a specific verb+resource and distinguishing it from sibling series tools.

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 versus siblings like find_series or get_series; lacks usage context or exclusions.

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