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

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and readOnlyHint=false; the description adds specifics: it is safe to retry and the same open verification run is returned. It also clarifies the side effect of queueing verification and the external prerequisite, which are not present in the annotations. No contradiction with the annotations.

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, front-loads the primary action, and each sentence adds non-redundant information: action+precondition, then retry behavior. No filler or repetition of structured fields.

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 a single parameter, an existing output schema, and annotations covering safety and idempotency, the description gives adequate invoking context: precondition, action, and retry behavior. It could be more explicit about what constitutes a valid external publication receipt, but the essential calling context is present.

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?

The description gives no information about changeSetId, and schema description coverage is 0%, so parameter semantics are left entirely to inference from the parameter name and type. With one required parameter and low coverage, the description should compensate but does not.

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 states a specific action: queueing Foliora's rendered production verification, conditioned on a valid external publication receipt. The title adds clarity by referencing 'agent-published change', but the description does not explicitly differentiate it from siblings like report_publication or create_preview_link, so it stops short of a 5.

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 provides a temporal precondition ('after a valid external publication receipt exists') and retry guidance, which tells the agent when it is appropriate to call. However, it does not mention when not to use it or name alternative siblings, so it is a 4 rather than a 5.

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