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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the status vocabulary, which is genuine value, but the truncated 'and the builders'...' clause withholds whatever additional context (presumably who is acting on the report) it intended to convey, and no return shape is described.

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?

Short and front-loaded, but the final clause is truncated mid-thought ('and the builders'...'), which is dangling waste rather than earned content. The status enumeration is the useful part and comes early.

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 no output schema, the description must carry return-value meaning; it does partially by listing the four states, but the sentence is incomplete and says nothing about error behavior for a missing id or whether extra fields accompany the state.

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% for the single required `id`, and the description only implicitly indicates it is a report identifier filed via `report`. It does not state the format of the id (e.g., what `report` returns) or what happens on an unknown id, so it only partially compensates for the coverage gap.

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+resource: the state of a report you filed with `report`, and enumerates the possible states (filed, seen, fixed, wontfix). It is distinguishable from the `report` sibling (which files) and `reports_open` (which lists open ones). The trailing clause is cut off mid-sentence, which keeps it from 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?

Usage is implied through the reference to `report` — you check status after filing one — but there is no explicit when-to-use/when-not or named alternative such as `reports_open` or `request_status`.

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