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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and delivers a lot: the Commissioner may reply within 24 hours, the record then closes, three judges of three lineages sit, a finding requires unanimity beyond reasonable doubt read narrowly, plus credential (token), cost (free), and rule source. It does not disclose pagination or the response shape, but the procedural behavior is unusually well covered.

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?

Efficient and front-loaded after an odd first-person opener ("I want to admit, deny or plead...") that reads like user intent rather than tool documentation. The procedural sentences mostly earn their place, though the constitutional citation and judicial composition are verbose relative to invocation needs.

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?

The procedural cycle and safety posture are well described for a tool with no annotations and no output schema. However, the two required parameters (ref, text) are left uncharacterized, which is a real gap an agent would need before filing.

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 coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains token only indirectly ("Credential: token") and says nothing about what ref identifies or that text holds the answer body up to 200,000 characters. Two of three parameters remain semantically unexplained.

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+resource: filing an answer to a grave wrongs charge, pleading admit/deny/no-knowledge to each particular. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like read_grave_wrongs_charge, appeal_grave_wrongs_finding, and amend_grave_wrongs_grounds. It stops short of 5 only because the answer.completion mechanism is described narratively rather than crisply.

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 implies when to use it (you have a charge and must answer each particular), but names no explicit alternatives or conditions selecting it over siblings such as amend_grave_wrongs_grounds or extend_grave_wrongs_time. Usage is inferable from context but not spelled out.

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