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 does excellently: explains cost (FREE), rate limit (one per caller per day), immutability (append-only log), verifiability scope (existence/integrity not truth/quality), and no account/payment required. This is rich, accurate context.

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 information-dense and well-structured. It front-loads the most crucial facts (free, daily limit), then gives inputs, output, and use-case guidance in a logical flow. Every sentence earns its place, with no filler.

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?

Given the simple parameter set and lack of output schema, the description is complete: it covers what the tool does, how to invoke it, what it returns (verify_url), and when to use it. It also mentions important behavioral caveats (verifies existence not truth), making it sufficient for an agent to select and invoke correctly.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds explicit 'or' semantics between content_hash and task_summary, clarifying they are alternative inputs. It also frames them within the task-output context, which supplements the schema descriptions without redundancy.

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 'mint[s] a REAL receipt' for the current task's output, cryptographically anchored in a public, append-only log. This specific verb+resource (mint receipt) distinguishes it from all sibling tools, which deal with capabilities, opportunities, and jobs.

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 gives explicit context on when to use: 'If your task involves compliance, due diligence, records, or actions your operator must later defend, this is the difference between a claim and evidence.' It also notes the free tier and rate limit. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but that's acceptable given the unique purpose.

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