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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, and the description reinforces this with 'Free, read-only.' It also adds useful behavioral context by explaining that a playbook is an anonymized record and what it contains, which goes beyond 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?

Two sentences with no filler: the first front-loads the action, resource, and id source; the second briefly explains the concept and cost. Every clause earns its place.

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 one-parameter, read-only, idempotent tool with full schema coverage, the description covers what the tool does, where the id comes from, what the playbook contains, and the safety profile. No output schema is present, but the description adequately conveys the purpose and effect.

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 input schema fully documents the single id parameter with an example, so the baseline is 3. The description adds extra semantic value by stating that ids come from load_video_workflow, helping the agent know exactly where to obtain a valid id.

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: 'Load one shared production playbook by id' and clarifies its effect ('apply it to your production'). It also explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling load_video_workflow by noting that playbook ids come from that tool, so an agent can tell them apart.

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 clear usage context: use this tool when you have a playbook id from load_video_workflow and want to apply that playbook to your production. It does not explicitly list when-not-to-use or name alternatives, but the id-source reference gives practical guidance.

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