Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states an action ('Get'), implying a read operation, but provides no details on authentication, rate limits, data freshness, side effects, or return behavior. The description adds no behavioral insight beyond what the tool name implies.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is very short (one sentence), which is concise, but it comes at the cost of missing important information. It is front-loaded but fails to provide sufficient details for effective tool selection and invocation.

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

Completeness2/5

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

There is no output schema, so the description should hint at what details are returned (e.g., fields, structure). It does not. Additionally, given the context of many sibling tools, the description is too sparse to help an AI agent understand when to use this specific PSC variant. The schema covers parameters, but overall completeness is low.

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% with both parameters ('psc_id' and 'company_number') having descriptions in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning or examples for the parameters, but given the high schema coverage, a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 'Get individual beneficial owner details' clearly states a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('individual beneficial owner details'). The tool name itself is highly specific, but the description does not explicitly differentiate from closely related siblings like 'get_psc_individual' or 'get_psc_corporate_entity_beneficial_owner', which could cause confusion for an AI agent without additional context.

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?

No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., for a specific PSC type), nor does it mention prerequisites, context, or when not to use it. With a large family of sibling tools, this lack of guidance is a notable gap.

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