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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses that the tool creates editable output and does not check or store a delivery, but it omits auth requirements, idempotency behavior, and any rate/permission context for what is effectively a state-creating call.

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?

Compact and front-loaded, leading with the primary purpose before the endpoint mapping. The endpoint/body fragment is terse and the whole thing avoids 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?

For a complex tool with 11 parameters, nested body object, no output schema, no annotations, and near-zero schema coverage, the description is far too thin. An agent lacks enough to invoke it correctly beyond the endpoint mapping.

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 only 9% across 11 parameters, so the description must compensate but largely does not. It mentions only 'body: need; optional columns', leaving the other parameters (token, handle, idempotency_key, etc.) undocumented anywhere.

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?

States a specific verb (draft) and resource (editable machine checks from requirements and column names), and adds the distinguishing scope that it happens 'without checking or storing a delivery'. It is a clear purpose, though it does not name a specific sibling it competes with among the large toolset.

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 phrase 'without checking or storing a delivery' implies this is the draft-only variant versus a checking/storing operation, giving implied usage guidance. However, no alternative tool is named and no explicit when-to-use/when-not condition is stated.

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