Annotations already declare non-read-only, non-idempotent, open-world, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds almost nothing beyond that: it never says what happens if no machine has 'room', whether the job is queued or rejected, what 'public' implies for data exposure, or how results are retrieved. 'With room' hints at a capacity constraint but is left ambiguous.
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?
It is a single sentence with no filler, so nothing is wasted. But the brevity comes at the cost of under-specification: the one sentence spends words on unexplained jargon rather than on the constraints that matter.
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 five parameters at 0% schema coverage, a nested object, no output schema, and a multi-step job lifecycle implied by siblings, this description leaves far too much for the agent to guess. It should at minimum explain how files/results flow and what happens on capacity failure.
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 five parameters, including a nested `files` map, a `public` visibility flag, `timeout_s`, and `result_path` — none of which are explained anywhere. The description only vaguely implies the required `command` array ('Send a CPU job'), leaving the other four parameters and their formats entirely undocumented.
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 verb 'Send ... to run' plus 'CPU job' conveys a submission action, which separates it from compute_status/compute_cancel/compute_quote siblings. However, jargon like 'ce-net machine' and 'with room' is unexplained, so an agent cannot be certain what resource is being targeted or what 'room' means (capacity? permission?).
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 submit versus first calling compute_quote, compute_backends, compute_check, or compute_status, nor any mention of prerequisites. An agent must infer the whole workflow from sibling names alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
