B3.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint and idempotentHint, so the bar is lower, and the description adds real value: it explains the preview-then-confirm gate, requestId reuse for recovery, and the 'claim live only when status is active' gating. The phrase is somewhat jargon-heavy but goes beyond what annotations convey.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Three short fragments are front-loaded and waste little space, but the cryptic 'Fields: soclo://tools/...' pointer and telegraphic style reduce readability more than they save tokens.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a destructive, open-world mutation with 10 params, deep nested targeting objects, and no output schema, the description is far too thin: it explains the confirm flow but leaves targeting semantics, field requirements, and expected outcomes unaddressed.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Ten parameters at 60% schema coverage, with a large nested targeting `spec` object, and the description adds nothing about which fields are meaningful or how `payload.spec` should be used. Aside from echoing the confirm/requestId workflow already described in the schema, it does not compensate for the coverage gap.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Update an audience') that an agent can distinguish from create/get/delete siblings. However, it does not differentiate from close siblings like soclo_ads_add_users_to_ad_audience or soclo_ads_replace_ad_audience_companies, which also modify audience membership/definition.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Provides the spending/deletion workflow (preview, then owner-approved confirm:true with the same requestId), which is genuine when-to guidance. But it offers no routing between this tool and the sibling audience-mutation tools, leaving the agent to infer which one to call.

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