Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It states it returns 'matching dogs with basic info', but does not detail what 'basic info' includes, pagination behavior, or any rate limits. For a read-only search tool, it minimally conveys safety, but could be more explicit about response structure.

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?

The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose, and includes a clear pointer to a sibling tool. No unnecessary words, every sentence earns its place.

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?

The tool has 19 parameters, no output schema, and no behavioral annotations. The description is very brief, not summarizing the rich filtering capabilities or default behavior (e.g., limit=10, offset=0). It gives a high-level overview but lacks detail for an agent to fully understand the tool's scope without inspecting the schema.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% (all 19 parameters have descriptions). The description adds minimal extra semantic value beyond the schema, only summarizing the tool's purpose. Per guidelines, with high coverage, baseline is 3; description does not elevate beyond that.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Search for rescue dogs available for adoption from European and UK organizations', specifying the verb (search), resource (rescue dogs), and geographic scope. It distinguishes from the sibling tool rescuedogs_get_dog_details by noting this returns basic info, while that provides full profiles.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description includes explicit guidance to use rescuedogs_get_dog_details for full profiles, indicating when this tool is appropriate vs. an alternative. However, it does not specify when not to use this tool relative to other siblings like rescuedogs_list_breeds or rescuedogs_get_filter_counts.

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