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

Goes well beyond the annotations: it discloses that publishing is public and immediate, and describes a non-obvious two-phase protocol where the first call is non-committal (returns a summary plus confirmToken) and only the second call with the token proceeds. These are behavioral traits an agent could not infer from destructiveHint=true alone.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the core action and the 'destructive'/'confirmToken' warning placed last where it matters most. 'Pushing the latest Blawgy content' is brand noise that could be cut, but nothing else is wasted.

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 mutating tool with no output schema, the description covers scope, immediacy, and the confirmation flow, which is most of what an agent needs. It omits reversibility (can a published article be unpublished?), required permissions, and failure modes, leaving minor gaps.

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 67% and the undocumented 'id' parameter is compensated for by pointing at list_articles as the source of valid draft identifiers; the description also explains the confirmToken round-trip beyond what the schema says. It does not state the id format or error behavior, so it is useful but not exhaustive.

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?

Specific verb+resource: publishes a CMS draft article live on the site, with an explicit scope restriction ('Only for cms_draft articles') that implicitly separates it from builder-draft siblings like publish_article_from_builder. The phrase 'pushing the latest Blawgy content' is jargon that adds little, and no sibling is named outright, so it falls just short of a 5.

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?

States the qualifying condition (items showing status 'draft' in list_articles, cms_draft only) and the effect (public and immediate), which gives a clear context for use. It never names an alternative tool or an explicit when-not rule (e.g., vs republish_article or mark_published), so it stops short of explicit routing guidance.

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