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

The description indicates a read operation but does not explicitly state it is read-only, nor does it disclose any behavioral traits such as authentication requirements or rate limits. Given the lack of annotations, the description carries the full burden and provides minimal transparency.

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 concise sentence that is front-loaded with the essential action and resource. Every word is purposeful, with no unnecessary fluff.

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 tool has no parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers the purpose and output content. It could be more detailed about the return format, but it is complete enough for a simple status check tool.

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 no parameters, and the schema coverage is 100%. The description adds value by specifying the output content (free calls, pricing, categories), which goes beyond the empty schema. Baseline for zero parameters is 4.

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 verb 'View' and the resource 'GoldBean MCP status', and lists the specific information shown (free calls remaining, pricing, categories). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools, which are about AI, price, weather, 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?

The description implies usage for checking status, but does not provide any guidance on when to use versus alternatives or when not to use. No explicit context or exclusions are given.

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