Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral traits. It does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, any auth requirements, rate limits, pagination, or return format. Minimal behavioral info is provided beyond the basic action.

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?

The description is a single concise sentence. While efficient, it is too brief for a tool with 4 parameters and could benefit from front-loading critical info. However, it avoids unnecessary verbosity.

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?

Given 4 parameters, no output schema, and multiple sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It lacks parameter details, return value description, and differentiation from 'list_holidays'. The description does not cover what the user needs to know to correctly invoke the tool.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, so description must add meaning to parameters. The description fails to explain any parameter (assigned_to, start, end, workspace_id), such as date format or meaning of 'assigned_to'. No parameter semantics are provided, making it insufficient for parameter understanding.

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 the verb (List), resource (holidays), condition (overlapping a date range), and target (for a user). This distinguishes it from the sibling tool 'list_holidays', which likely lists all holidays without date range filtering or user specificity.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_holidays'. No prerequisites, exclusions, or context for usage are provided. The description only implies the use case but does not explicitly guide selection.

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