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

The description adds substantial behavior beyond annotations: silence only auto-accepts when auto_accept is true, late deliveries expire and return the bond, acceptance is signed immediately and relayed on chain, rejection requires a 20-2,000 character public reason and waits 48 hours for appeal, and appeal reversal shifts payment and deposit liability. It also discloses that one verdict per round cannot be changed, that a signed verdict is not settlement, and that a website session with original allowed Origin is required.

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?

The action and timing are front-loaded, and nearly every sentence contributes behavioral or lifecycle information. The paragraph is dense with nested conditionals, but it is not padded with repetition.

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 destructive on-chain review action with no output schema, the description covers timing, acceptance/rejection consequences, appeal handling, settlement caveats, and auth requirements. The main remaining gap is that it does not identify what id and evidence_hash should contain.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage and six parameters, the description must carry the burden of explaining inputs. It gives useful semantics for passed (acceptance vs rejection), reason (20-2,000 characters), round (one verdict per round), and submission_hash (exact canonical submission), but never explains the required id or evidence_hash parameters, leaving critical inputs undefined.

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 first sentence states a specific verb and resource: record a verdict on the exact canonical submission shown by get_managed_bounty_review. It distinguishes this write action from the sibling read tool and anchors the action to an inspected artifact and decide_by deadline.

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?

It clearly says to use this after inspecting the artifact and before decide_by, and points to get_managed_bounty_review as the source of the canonical submission. It does not explicitly compare against other review-related siblings, but the managed-bounty context is unambiguous.

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