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

With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It mentions the docs are 'live' and 'optimized for AI consumption' but does not explicitly state that the operation is read-only, or describe any potential side effects or rate limits. Adequate but could be more transparent.

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?

Two sentences that immediately state the action and purpose, with no redundant or filler content. Every word adds value.

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?

For a simple read-only documentation fetcher with two well-documented parameters, the description adequately covers purpose, usage, and parameter semantics. It does not describe the return format, but given no output schema, this is acceptable for a minimal tool.

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 100% and the description adds value by explaining that the 'full' parameter enables complete code examples and the 'topic' parameter filters to areas like 'button' or 'theming', providing context beyond the schema.

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?

Clearly states it fetches live Starwind UI documentation from starwind.dev, specifying the source and type of content. Distinguishes from sibling tools like starwind_add, starwind_init, starwind_search which have different functions.

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?

Tells the agent to use this tool to get up-to-date docs but provides no exclusion criteria or comparisons to sibling tools. Implicitly clear that it's for documentation retrieval, but no explicit when-not-to-use guidance.

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