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

The annotations already disclose that this is a non-read-only, open-world, non-idempotent, non-destructive operation. The description adds useful workflow context by noting the request is queued for manager approval and returns a confirmation with disposition details.

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 three tight sentences: purpose, alternative routing hint, and return behavior. It is front-loaded and every sentence contributes useful 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 rich annotations, complete parameter schema, and presence of an output schema, the description provides enough context for correct selection and invocation. It explains the approval workflow and distinguishes the tool from its main sibling.

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 100%, so all three required parameters are fully documented in the schema itself. The description adds no additional parameter guidance beyond the schema, which is acceptable at baseline 3.

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 gives a specific verb and resource: submitting a test request for a page without an existing report. It clearly distinguishes this from orderNewTest by explaining the approval queue versus immediate approval.

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 states the key condition for use ('a page that has no report yet') and explicitly names the alternative tool, orderNewTest, for immediate automatically approved testing. This gives an agent concrete routing guidance.

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