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

Beyond the annotations it discloses the key lifecycle facts: the first send records the request, the requirement token doubles as the receipt token used by request_status and offers, and a later send of a changed requirement creates a revision. It also clarifies that sending places no order, which pre-empts a serious misunderstanding. It does not address repeated identical sends or failure behavior in a way that relates to the idempotentHint.

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?

Three dense sentences, front-loaded with the action and its trigger, then lifecycle semantics, then the negative guarantee. Some phrasing ("its receipt token is the requirement's token") is a little tangled but nothing is 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 six-parameter mutation tool with no output schema and half the parameters undocumented, the description covers the most consequential unknowns: what the call creates, which token to keep, and that no commitment is made. It stops short of explaining op_id, the contact object's necessity, or what happens on repeat sends.

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 coverage is 50%, and the description only compensates for `revision` ("Name the revision the buyer saw"), which the schema leaves entirely undocumented. The `token` explanation largely repeats the schema's own description, and `op_id`, `contact`, and `action` receive no added meaning.

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 states a specific verb and resource ("Send the requirement to Loadfactor") and separates the first send (records a request) from a subsequent send (records a revision of the same request). It does not differentiate itself from the sibling submit_request, which an agent could easily confuse with this operation.

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?

It gives a trigger condition ("once the buyer says to") and implicitly timings for first vs. subsequent sends, but never says when to use edit_requirement instead of resending, nor how this relates to submit_request. Usage is implied rather than explicit.

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