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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions 'Price: unknown on Base (auto-paid in USDC)' hinting at a cost, but does not clearly disclose whether the tool is read-only, modifies state, or requires authentication. Behavioral traits are incomplete.

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 somewhat verbose, repeating the same concept in multiple languages and including tangential price info. While front-loaded with purpose, it could be more succinct.

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 lookup tool, the description and schema provide adequate context. However, missing output format details and unclear cost behavior reduce completeness. It is minimally viable but has 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?

Schema coverage is 100% with a clear description for parameter 'q'. The description adds synonyms (animal, situation, object) but does not significantly extend the schema's meaning. Baseline score 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 is for Chinese dream interpretation using Zhou Gong's dictionary, specifying input keywords (animal, situation, object) and output as traditional reading. It distinguishes itself from sibling zhanbu tools which are different divination methods.

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 no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., other zhanbu or Chinese culture tools). Usage context is only implied through the tool name and purpose.

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