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

Goes well beyond the annotations: states it spends no credits, that omitting confirm returns a preview with nothing sent, that saved changes appear immediately on a live site, and that a lost write reply must be reconciled via soclo_page_pages and soclo_page_versions before retrying. These are real operational behaviors that the destructive/openWorld annotations alone do not convey.

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-loads the core action in the first sentence, then layers cost, preview/confirm, visibility, and reconciliation. Every sentence carries information, though the density is high and a couple of clauses could be split for readability.

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 destructive, open-world mutation with no output schema and zero required parameters, the description covers cost, preview-vs-commit behavior, live visibility, and recovery from ambiguous writes. It does not explain what a preview response contains, which would matter given the missing output schema, but is otherwise complete.

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%, and the description usefully adds meaning to if_unchanged by naming soclo_page_pages as where the displayed revision comes from, reinforcing the confirm gate semantics. It leaves slug, title, and nav_label undocumented, so it only partially compensates for the coverage gap.

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: 'Add one page to the site's page list.' This is distinguishable from content-editing siblings (soclo_page_save, soclo_page_rename) because it is about creating a new entry in the page list, and it explicitly ties into the if_unchanged revision model used for existing changes.

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?

Gives clear operative guidance: it is free, returns a preview without confirm:true, and confirm:true should only be passed after owner approval of the exact change. It also names soclo_page_pages as the source of if_unchanged and soclo_page_versions for reconciliation. It stops short of explicitly contrasting with siblings like soclo_page_save or soclo_page_duplicate.

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