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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, closed-world and non-destructive, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavior context: it is a full-detail fetch (no projection/filtering) returning AI summary, environment, and the three counts plus user_spread classification — information the agent cannot get from annotations and would not guess.

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?

Front-loaded with the verb and resource, then the field enumeration, then the sibling routing sentence. The field list is long but earns its place because there is no output schema; only minor tightening is possible.

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 no output schema, enumerating returned fields is exactly the right compensation, and the user_spread semantics (user_specific vs widespread) are spelled out. Minor gap: no mention of behavior for an unknown/deleted bugId or whether closed bugs are returned.

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 100% for the single bugId parameter (uuid, required), so the schema carries the full burden already. The description adds nothing about the identifier's format or source, which is acceptable but leaves it at the baseline for high-coverage schemas.

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?

Specific verb+resource ('Get full details of a bug') plus an enumerated field list that tells the agent exactly what data comes back. It explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling get_bug_users, so the agent can separate the two without opening either schema.

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?

Explicitly routes per-user data to get_bug_users, which is a real alternative and a real condition. It does not cover the other direction — e.g. when to use this versus list_bugs or get_bug_history — but the single-entity read case is clear from 'full details of a bug'.

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