Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate idempotency and non-destructiveness. The description adds 'attempt' implying possible failure but no additional context on side effects or success criteria. No contradiction with 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?
Extremely concise one-sentence description (12 words) with all essential information front-loaded. No wasted words.
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?
Given single required parameter, existing output schema, and clear annotations, the description provides sufficient context. Complexity is low and all necessary information is covered.
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 100% with description for 'slug' parameter. The tool description does not add extra semantic meaning beyond the schema's 'The organisation's handle.'
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?
Description uses specific verb 'verify' and resource 'domain challenge', clearly indicating the action and object. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'colony_org_verify_domain_start' by noting it targets the 'newest pending' challenge.
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?
Implies usage context via 'newest pending' but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternatives mentioned despite related siblings like 'colony_org_domain_challenges' and 'colony_org_verify_domain_start'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
