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

Beyond the destructiveHint and openWorldHint annotations, the description spells out that live store prices change, that the action 'cannot be undone from here', the exact credential scope required, and a concrete failure mode (403 on sandbox keys until the workspace is claimed). That is meaningful behavioral context the structured fields do not carry.

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?

Four short sentences, front-loaded with the action, then the risk, then the two prerequisites. Every sentence adds a distinct, actionable fact with no repetition of the annotations or title.

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 parameters and no output schema, an agent mainly needs to know blast radius, irreversibility, and blockers, all of which are covered. Remaining gaps are minor: what happens across multiple connected stores, whether a partial failure leaves some prices pushed, and what the call returns.

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 tool takes no parameters and the schema is an empty object, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. Baseline 4 applies; no parameter-level detail is expected or missing.

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 verb and resource ('Push every approved price proposal') and scopes it to 'its connected store now'. The qualifier 'approved' implicitly separates it from approval tools like approve_commerce_proposal, but no sibling is named outright, so the differentiation is inferential rather than explicit.

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?

Timing is clear ('every approved... now'), which implies it runs only after proposals have been approved, and the prerequisites (commerce execute scope, claimed workspace) tell the agent whether it can call it at all. It does not name an alternative tool or describe a when-not-to-use case, such as when only one proposal should go live.

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