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

Annotations already declare the write/safe/idempotent profile, but the description adds behavior that annotations cannot: the form stays non-public until publish_a_form, and templates carry real side effects ('opens a deal and auto-replies'). It does not discuss permissions or who can create a form, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

Front-loaded with the core action and draft semantics, then a compact parenthetical list of templates. The template enumeration is long but each item carries selection-relevant content, so it earns its space; only slight density cost.

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?

No output schema exists, yet no params are required and the description covers creation state, template options, and follow-up tools. The main gap is what is returned or how the created form is identified afterward for use with update_form or publish_a_form.

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 only 50% — 'name' is documented in the schema but the 'template' enum values are bare there. The description compensates by explaining what each enum value produces, which is genuine added meaning beyond the schema.

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 and resource ('Make a Smart Form') plus a scoping modifier ('as a draft'), which separates it from publish_a_form, update_form, and duplicate_a_form in the sibling list. An agent can pick this tool without opening any schema.

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?

Explicitly routes the agent: publish_a_form is what makes the form public, and update_form is named for changing fields and words. It also gives per-template selection guidance (lead for simple capture, demo for qualify-then-book, quote for deal creation, newsletter for subscribe), so the choice among options is not left to inference.

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