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

Annotations already disclose that this is a non-destructive, idempotent, closed-world write, so the description doesn't need to restate safety. It adds that the operation is strictly a rename (not broader team settings), but says nothing about required permissions, whether omitted fields are preserved, or effects on members.

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?

Two short sentences with the core action front-loaded and the alternative routing immediately after; no filler.

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 two-parameter mutation with no output schema, the description covers the action and the sibling boundary but leaves parameter roles and side effects unexplained. Annotations carry the safety profile, so the remaining gap is modest rather than severe.

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 0%, so both 'name' and 'organizationId' are undocumented in structured data. 'Rename a Team' implies 'name' is the new team name, but the description never explains that 'organizationId' is the sole required parameter or what happens if 'name' is omitted.

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 ('Rename a Team'), so the agent knows exactly what the tool mutates. It also implicitly narrows scope away from team domain management, which several sibling tools (request_team_auto_join_domain, remove_team_auto_join_domain) handle instead.

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?

Explicitly routes the adjacent task ('add or remove auto-join domains') to the Team domain proof tools, giving a clear when-not-this-tool signal. It doesn't discuss siblings like update_team_member or update_team_invite, but the rename scope is unambiguous.

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