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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the agent knows this is a closed-world, non-destructive write. The description adds the useful fact that it does not alter published revisions, but it does not say what record is created, whether it is idempotent, or what side effects occur, so added value is modest.

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?

Two tightly packed sentences with no filler, and the core action is front-loaded. It is efficient, though very dense and slightly telegraphic for a five-parameter tool.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. But for a 5-parameter, 4-required write tool with a nested object and zero schema coverage, the description omits key semantics (domain_id const, revision_refs limits and constraints) and should say more about what each input captures.

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 5 parameters, so the description must carry the load. It loosely maps 'original technical question' to question, version details to context, and 'missing details' to reason, but omits domain_id (a fixed const) and revision_refs entirely, leaving two parameters unexplained.

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 action (retain the original technical question, OS/component versions, and missing details) so an agent can grasp the general intent. However, it uses the vague phrase 'for priority learning' and never distinguishes itself from the near-identical sibling report_knowledge_gap, so sibling differentiation is missing.

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 explicit guidance on when to choose this over report_knowledge_gap, request_expert_answer, or submit_feedback. The clause 'Does not alter published revisions' is a behavioral constraint, not a usage condition, so selection guidance is essentially absent.

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