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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It explicitly confirms the tool is non-destructive and non-required ('a help/discovery aid, not a prerequisite'). The clear statement that all tools are callable independently tells the agent this tool has no side effects or state implications. This is good transparency for a non-mutating discovery tool.

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, zero waste. It states the purpose, the output, and a critical behavioral clarification in a compact form. Every sentence earns its place, and the most important clarification (not a prerequisite) is front-and-center.

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 simple discovery tool with one well-documented enum parameter and no output schema, the description is appropriately complete. It covers what the tool does, what it returns, and clarifies its optional nature. No output schema exists, but the description adequately signals the return type (tool names and descriptions).

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% — the domain parameter is fully documented with an enum and per-value explanations in the schema itself. The description does not add parameter-level detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate given full schema coverage.

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 states a specific purpose: 'Discover available KnowBe4 tools by domain' and explains it returns tool names and descriptions for the selected domain. It clearly distinguishes itself from sibling tools which are actual data operations. It doesn't explicitly name a sibling but its role as a help/discovery aid is clear enough to differentiate it from the 30+ data tools.

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 clearly states the tool's role as a 'help/discovery aid, not a prerequisite' and clarifies that 'all tools are callable at any time.' This gives the agent clear guidance that this is optional navigation, not a required step. It doesn't list exclusions but provides sufficient context on when to use it (discovery) versus when not (actual operations).

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