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

No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavioral traits. Description only states search action without detailing side effects, authentication needs, return format, or any constraints. Minimal information for a safe invocation.

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?

Single sentence, 14 words, front-loads the action. Efficient but slightly under-informative. A longer description could be more helpful, but for conciseness it's good.

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?

Two parameters without description, no output schema, no behavioral disclosure. Description fails to provide adequate context for an AI agent to use the tool effectively. Many gaps regarding input, output, and usage.

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 description coverage is 0% and description provides zero information about parameters. 'query' and 'topK' remain unexplained, leaving the agent to guess their meaning and usage.

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?

Clear verb 'Search' and specific resource 'current Microsoft Learn Partner Center developer docs' with additional context 'for depth beyond the curated pack', distinguishing it from sibling tools that focus on guidance, diagnostics, etc.

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?

Implied usage context ('for depth beyond the curated pack') but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like pc_auth_guidance or pc_get_reference. No when-not-to-use or prerequisite conditions mentioned.

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