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

Since no annotations are provided, the description fully bears the burden. It discloses that the submission is non-binding, requires explicit confirmation, and that no order or price guarantee is implied. This is good behavioral context, though it could mention potential responses.

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?

The description is two concise sentences. The first sentence gives the action and conditions, the second clarifies the non-binding nature. No redundant or extraneous information.

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?

Given the complexity (8 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate but incomplete. It fails to mention the human-review aspect from the title, what the response will be, or the role of buyer_email. More context would improve completeness.

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?

With only 13% schema description coverage, the description does not compensate. It provides no additional meaning for the parameters beyond what the minimal schema descriptions offer. The 8 parameters are not explained in the description.

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 description clearly states it is for submitting a non-binding RFQ, and the title adds 'human-reviewed Cintra quote'. It distinguishes from siblings like prepare_quote_request and validate_bom as the final submission step.

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 specifies conditions: only when production submission is enabled and user confirms. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like prepare_quote_request or validate_bom.

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