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

The description adds real behavioral context beyond the annotations: it discloses that nothing is contacted, assigned, agreed or paid, i.e. the tool records an inquiry rather than causing an engagement. This is consistent with openWorldHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, and no contradiction exists. It stops short of saying what a submission does produce or what state it leaves behind.

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 tight sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and immediately followed by the key scoping caveat. No filler or restatement of the title.

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 15-parameter, open-world, mutating-intent request in a dense workflow family (proposals, capability requests, conversations), the description is thin: it omits prerequisites (account/persona identity), the idempotency expectation, and any hint about what happens after submission or how it relates to accept/counter-authorization siblings. There is no output schema to fall back on.

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 20% across 15 parameters, and the description supplies no insight into any of them — not role_type, persona_id, client_request_id (idempotency), nor the optional free-text scope fields. With low coverage, the description is expected to compensate and does not.

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 names a specific verb+resource ("Ask for an authorized human spokesperson, representative or relationship manager") and scopes it to the caller's persona. It is clear on its own, but it never differentiates itself from closely named siblings such as request_preferred_representative or request_human_capability, which an agent must disambiguate.

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?

"Inquiry only: no person is contacted, assigned, agreed or paid" implies this is a low-commitment, non-binding request, which helps an agent choose it over a real engagement flow. However, no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or named alternative (e.g. request_preferred_representative) is given.

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