ransomlookRecent

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

No annotations are provided, but the description makes clear this is a read-only fetch. It does not disclose limits or ordering beyond 'most recent', yet for a simple retrieval, the transparency is adequate.

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?

The description is a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the primary action and includes the key returned fields. No extraneous words.

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 0-param tool with no output schema, the description covers the essential return fields and source. It could mention whether a limit is applied, but 'most recent' implies ordering, making it nearly complete.

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?

There are zero parameters, so the description is not required to explain any. The 0-param baseline of 4 applies, and no additional semantic information is needed.

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?

The description uses a specific verb 'fetch' and identifies the resource as 'most recent ransomware posts and victim claims from RansomLook'. It also lists return fields, distinguishing it from siblings like ransomwareRecent and ransomlookGroups.

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?

The description implies the tool is for RansomLook-specific data, but it does not explicitly state when to use it over similar siblings like ransomwareRecent. Usage is inferred rather than explicitly guided.

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