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

The annotations already disclose that this is a non-read-only, non-idempotent, non-destructive mutation with closed-world scope. The description adds useful context that the submitted requirement is retained with a reference number. However, it does not explain duplicate handling, validation behavior, or the meaning of the reference number beyond persistence.

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 short sentences with no wasted wording. The main action is front-loaded, and the retention note follows directly. It is appropriately concise, although the missing detail belongs to contextual completeness rather than conciseness.

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?

This is a 10-parameter mutation with nested objects, only 40% schema description coverage, and no output schema. The description explains the basic submission and retention behavior but leaves many optional parameters and operational details unexplained. For this level of complexity, it is materially incomplete.

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 only 40%, so the description should compensate for undocumented fields such as action, budget, timing, quantity, geography, specifications, and requested_fields. Instead, it only implies the roles of need and slug at a high level. It adds little meaningful guidance beyond the parameter names.

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: sending a requirement to one of Millsheet's services. It also adds that the requirement is kept with a reference number. It does not distinguish this tool from the sibling proposition tools, so it falls short of 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?

The description gives no explicit guidance on when to use submit_request versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or the sibling tools. Usage is only implied by the verb 'send' and the tool name.

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