A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description usefully adds that the tool performs a network navigation and returns raw HTML of form elements. It omits auth/session requirements, which matters given a sibling 'login' tool exists, and says nothing about rate limits or fetch failures.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single front-loaded sentence with the action first and the return payload second; nothing is wasted. It is appropriately sized for a one-parameter debugging tool.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple one-param tool with annotations covering the safety profile and no output schema, the description tells the agent both what it does and what it returns. Only the auth/network-side-effect details are missing.

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?

There is only one parameter and schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents it fully. The description reinforces that the URL must be a CvLAC URL, but adds no format or syntax detail beyond that.

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 names a specific verb+resource: it navigates to a CvLAC URL and returns the HTML of form inputs/selects/textareas. This clearly separates it from content-reading siblings like read_cvlac or read_portfolio, though it never explicitly names those alternatives.

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?

'for debugging field names' states a concrete use context, so an agent knows this is a diagnostics/introspection call rather than a data-retrieval one. It stops short of naming when NOT to use it or pointing at a sibling alternative.

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