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

No annotations provided; description mentions returns monthly/annual net, social contributions, employer cost but not read-only nature or lack of side effects. Adequate for a calculator but not thorough.

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: first covers purpose and scope, second points to related bundle. Every word earns its place; no redundancy.

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 calculator with output schema present, description adequately conveys inputs and outputs. Mentions 2026 specificity and sibling reference, leaving no critical gaps.

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% with descriptions for both parameters. Description adds no extra meaning beyond recapping categories, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

Description clearly states the tool converts French gross salary to net salary for 2026, specifying cadre, non-cadre, or civil servant. It lists outputs and distinguishes from siblings via country and year specificity.

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?

Provides context for 2026 France salary conversion and references list_bundles for related calculators. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but sufficiently guides usage.

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