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

Discloses key behavior: funds settle only after fair exchange (asset + certificate bound to payment). Returns deliverable and certificate. No annotations provided, so description carries full burden and meets it well.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with core purpose, then details. No redundancy or unnecessary words. Efficient and clear.

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?

Describes return values (asset and certificate) despite no output schema. Lacks discussion of error conditions or prerequisites (e.g., existing valid quote). Given sibling tools, fits workflow well but could be slightly more comprehensive.

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 50% (payment described, quoteId not). Description adds context for payment (real vs sim network) and repeats schema info. Provides meaningful addition but could elaborate on quoteId's purpose or format.

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?

Description clearly states it completes a license by paying a quote, with specific verb 'complete' and resource 'license'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'quote_license' which generates quotes, by specifying it finalizes payment and returns asset and certificate.

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?

Provides concrete guidance on passing quoteId and payment, with distinction between real and sim networks (omit payment on sim). Does not explicitly exclude alternatives but context makes it clear this is the final step after quoting.

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