Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, covering safety. The description adds useful context about country-dependent inclusivity and the return shape, but it leaves holiday handling and edge behavior vague.
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 two sentences with no filler. It front-loads the core operation and immediately provides the return shape, making it efficiently scannable for an agent.
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?
With four parameters and no schema descriptions, the tool needs more explanation to be fully usable. ExtraHolidays is completely undocumented, and 'inclusive/exclusive per country rules' is too vague for correct non-default usage.
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 0%, so the description must compensate. It maps start and end to the required parameters and hints at country rules, but it never explains the country enum values, the default behavior, or the extraHolidays parameter.
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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Count business days between start and end'. It also states the exact output shape, making the tool's purpose immediately clear and distinguishing it from the sibling business_days_add tool.
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 this tool is for counting rather than adding business days, but it does not explicitly compare against forgekit_business_days_add or state when one should be preferred. It also does not clarify when country or extraHolidays should be supplied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

ship_verify and ship_verify_v2 are near-synonyms, and ship_bundle wraps ship_pack plus an audit while evidence_pack combines screenshot/PDF/HTML. The descriptions help, but an agent could easily pick the wrong granularity or version.
All tools use the forgekit_ prefix and snake_case, but verb placement is inconsistent: business_days_add/count place the noun first, evidence_pack has no verb, and the ship_* group mixes noun and verb senses. The set is readable but not uniformly patterned.
Fifteen tools is near the upper end of a reasonable utility-kit size, and most tools are individually useful. It feels slightly over-scoped because ship_verify_v2 and ship_bundle partially duplicate other capabilities rather than adding clearly new operations.
The web/media surface is broadly covered with screenshots, PDFs, QR encode/decode, OG previews, evidence packs, and agent-readiness audits. However, the set is an eclectic collection rather than one coherent workflow, and there are gaps such as no MCP-level polling for async jobs and no history/retrieval for evidence packs or ship bundles.
