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

Beyond the annotations (destructive/openWorld/idempotent), the description discloses that final server-side checks run as part of the call, that the operation is free, that the default behavior is a non-sending preview, and that a lost write reply must be reconciled via soclo_page_get before retrying. This is behaviorally rich and consistent with the annotations.

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?

Four compact sentences, front-loaded with the action and consequences, with no filler. Each clause carries distinct operational value: effect, cost, confirm gating, and failure recovery.

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 single-optional-parameter tool with no output schema but full annotation coverage, the description supplies everything an agent needs: what happens live, cost, preview default, approval gate, relevant sibling for diagnostics, and retry reconciliation.

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 description coverage is 100% and the single confirm parameter already documents the preview-vs-send semantics. The description reinforces the owner-approval gating for confirm:true but adds little syntactic or semantic detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 effect ('Make the website live') with the resource (the website) and the mechanism (the app's save API). It explicitly distinguishes itself from sibling soclo_page_preflight, which only diagnoses the server's final website checks for an exact revision.

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 explicit when/when-not: without confirm:true it returns a preview only, and confirm:true should be passed only after the owner approves. It also names the alternative for diagnosing checks (soclo_page_preflight) and the reconciliation path (soclo_page_get) before retrying after a lost write reply.

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