Analyze neighborhood

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the output nature (scores for categories) but does not mention safety (read-only), data sources, or limitations. The description adds some behavioral context but lacks details about how the analysis is performed or potential caveats.

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, well-structured and front-loaded. The first sentence states the core functionality and outputs; the second gives a practical use case. No wasted 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?

There is no output schema, so the description compensates by enumerating the output categories (amenities, transportation, green spaces, services, walkability, overall score). It covers the main aspects of the tool's behavior, though it could mention how to interpret scores or what to expect if data is sparse.

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 100%; each parameter (latitude, longitude, radius) is already clearly described in the JSON schema. The tool description adds no additional parameter-level information, so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Generate') and resource ('neighborhood livability analysis'), plus details about outputs (per-category scores, walkability, overall score). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by emphasizing analysis and scoring rather than listing places or routes.

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 provides a clear use case ('Useful for real estate decisions and relocation planning'), implying when to use it. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or exclusions, but the context is sufficient for an agent to make a basic choice.

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