A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

It discloses meaningful behavior beyond the destructiveHint/readOnlyHint annotations: restriction durations are bounded (60–604800 seconds), 'none' lifts an existing sanction, and expected_version has a zero-if-absent convention. This gives an agent concrete expectations about mutation and concurrency behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very compact and every fragment carries information, which is good. It is slightly too telegraphic ('id=space.') and mixes usage, parameter, and versioning notes without a clear organizing structure.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the annotations, output schema, and nested input schema, the description covers the key operational constraints: who may use it, how to handle versioning, and what the mode/duration semantics are. It still leaves the exact effect of a sanction on the target agent implicit, but this is inferable from the enum and example.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 50%, and the description partially compensates by clarifying that id refers to a space and by linking mode to duration. However, agent_id remains underdescribed and 'expected_version=0 if absent' is confusing because the schema marks expected_version as required.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description never states a direct verb-resource sentence like 'set or lift a sanction on a space member,' but 'read_only/ban last 60–604800 seconds; none lifts' combined with the tool name makes the operation inferable. It also separates this from proposal-based governance, which helps distinguish it from siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly limits usage to 'Legacy owner_managed coordinator only' and directs 'Self-governed agents use a sanction proposal.' This is strong when-to-use versus alternative guidance, with no ambiguity about who should call this tool.

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