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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden alone. 'Get' implies a read, and the return contents are named, but there is no statement about permissions, rate limits, or whether validation status can be stale/in-progress — meaningful gaps for an unannotated tool.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with the action, the payload, and the workflow cue in that order. No filler, nothing to trim.

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 5 required ids, no annotations, and no output schema, the description covers the essential preconditions (read state, artifacts, validation) plus the workflow position. Auth or failure-mode context would complete it, but the schema handles the identifier complexity well.

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 every parameter is documented in detail (numeric vs alias ids, ordering hints like 'call list_tracks first'). The description adds nothing about parameters, 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 verb and resource ('Get a release's current state') and names the two things returned (attached artifacts, validation status). It clearly differs from mutation siblings like create_release or promote_release, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with the closest read sibling, get_track.

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 says 'check this before start_rollout', giving a concrete triggering condition. It stops short of when-not-to-use guidance or naming get_track as the alternative for track-level inspection.

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