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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses nothing. For a mutation tool that likely creates a formal governance record (possibly with reputation requirements, ratification flow, or irreversibility), the absence of any side-effect, permission, or lifecycle information is a serious gap.

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?

The sentence is short but not concise in the useful sense — it is under-specified rather than economical. There is nothing to cut, but also nothing front-loaded beyond the name restated.

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?

With four required parameters, no annotations, no output schema, and no parameter documentation anywhere, the definition is far too thin for the tool's complexity. An agent has no way to know the expected inputs or the outcome of a successful call.

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% across four required parameters (title, rationale, targetArticles, newText), and the description adds no meaning for any of them. An agent must guess at the expected format of targetArticles identifiers and the intended scope of rationale/newText.

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?

The description gives a specific verb ('propose') plus resource ('constitution amendment'), which is clearer than a bare tautology and scopes the tool to the governance domain. However, it does nothing to distinguish this from related governance siblings such as cast_vote or get_constitution, and it never says what a proposal produces or what state it enters.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., cast_vote, declare_challenge), no prerequisites, and no indication of what happens after proposing. The single sentence leaves usage entirely to inference.

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