kazakhstan_market_entry_readiness

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does mention 'Evidence triage only', but it omits important constraints like how it handles missing sources or whether it flags incomplete requests. It doesn't disclose if it outputs certain errors, how it handles edge cases, or notable limitations beyond not being legal advice. Also, it says 'no live retrieval', but that's a constraint; overall behavioral transparency is thin.

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 rich and informative, covering purpose, inputs, outputs, and limitations in a clear, front-loaded manner. It's a long sentence but not wasteful; each part adds value. However, it could be slightly tightened, like removing 'distribution, import...' list if it's already in the schema, but it's not redundant.

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?

Given the schema fully describes the request structure, and a tool helps, the description is fairly complete for inputs and outputs. It clarifies the output items and limitations, but it doesn't explain how the gate decision is derived, or what 'watch-next' indicators mean, or what happens with incomplete sources. There's also no info on output format beyond a label. It's adequate but leaves some 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?

The description mentions the main parameter 'readiness_request' and says it must match a schema, but since schema coverage is 100% and there's one parameter, the description adds minimal semantic meaning. It repeats that it's a structured request without adding details like the significance of 'decision_stage' or how it influences the output. It's adequate but not enriching.

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 has a clear topic and specific action, saying it grades a Kazakhstan market-entry file against a staged source-requirement taxonomy and returns a gate decision. However, while it lists many entry modes, it doesn't directly mention that this tool is the one to use for 'readiness' versus other assess tools. It's still quite specific and useful, just not perfectly distinguishing it from siblings like validate_brief.

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?

It states the input requires a structured readiness_request and explains what it returns, but it doesn't explicitly say when to prefer this tool over alternatives, nor does it mention any exclusions like 'use validate_evidence for evidence packets'. The context of 'before a launch, budget, or partner commitment' implies usage windows, but that's not explicit guidance on tool selection.

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