Single tool with adequate schema and description, but missing critical patterns. The 'example_tool' has a proper JSON Schema with typed properties and description. However, the tool lacks error handling guidance, output schema documentation, and composition patterns. The naming is generic ('example_tool') rather than action-verb-based (get_, create_, update_). Description is minimal (52 chars) and lacks context on when to use it or what to expect from the output. No parameters are documented beyond the schema type system. The tool is READ_ONLY but this isn't reflected in naming or recovery guidance. Overall definition quality is mediocre, functional but not production-ready.
An example tool that demonstrates the tool interface
Generic tool name 'example_tool' does not follow verb_noun pattern. Should be 'echo_message' or similar action-verb name to clarify intent.
Tool description (52 chars) is below recommended minimum of 100 chars. Missing WHAT the tool does beyond echoing, WHEN to use it, and what the output format is. LLMs cannot determine when to select this tool.
Output schema is not documented. Tool returns ToolResponseContent::Text but the calling agent doesn't know what structure to expect. Response documentation is required for downstream composition.
No error handling or recovery guidance. If 'message' parameter is missing or invalid, the code returns a generic fallback string ('No message provided') without telling the LLM what to do next.

Parameter 'message' description is present in schema but minimal ('A message to echo back'). Should explain expected format, length constraints, and use cases.
