Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It indicates the operation is a read ('Read') but does not explain error handling, idempotency, or details about 'input-redacted'. Minimal behavioral disclosure.
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 with no filler. It is front-loaded with the verb and key attributes.
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 read tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description is minimally complete. It lacks details on error scenarios and the exact meaning of 'input-redacted', but the core purpose is conveyed.
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 tool description should compensate. However, no additional meaning is added for the receipt_id parameter beyond its name and type. The parameter is self-explanatory but not elaborated.
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 reads a security receipt, specifying 'public' and 'input-redacted' characteristics, which distinguishes it from sibling tools describe_agent and security_preflight.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs. alternatives (describe_agent, security_preflight) or any prerequisites. The description simply states the function without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool has a distinct purpose: describe_agent provides context, security_preflight runs the check, get_security_receipt retrieves results. No overlap.
Two tools follow verb_noun pattern (describe_agent, get_security_receipt), but security_preflight is noun_noun, introducing inconsistency.
Three tools cover the essential operations for a focused security preflight service: describe, run, and retrieve receipt. No excess or deficiency.
The tool surface fully covers the stated purpose: describing the agent, running a static preflight, and retrieving the signed receipt. No obvious gaps.
