Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the same call also serves invite-decline, which is real context, but it says nothing about what is actually destroyed (membership only? history?), whether re-joining is possible, or any permission requirement.
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?
One short sentence, front-loaded with the primary action and the secondary case appended. No filler.
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 destructive, non-idempotent mutation with no output schema and an undocumented parameter, the description is too thin: it leaves unresolved what 'id' refers to and what state change the caller should expect.
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% and the single parameter 'id' is completely unexplained. Because the tool serves two different actions, it is genuinely ambiguous whether 'id' is a channel id or an invite id — the description does not resolve this.
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 ('leave') and resource ('a private channel'), plus a second action ('decline an invite'). It implicitly separates itself from private_join and from the public-channel channel_leave, though it never names those siblings explicitly.
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?
The description names two situations that trigger the call (leaving a channel, declining an invite), which is implied usage guidance. It gives no exclusions, no prerequisites, and no pointer to private_join / channel_leave as alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
