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

Annotations only say readOnly=false and non-idempotent, so the description carries the behavioral burden. It usefully discloses that the result is a short-lived link requiring human approval, which signals side effects and workflow; it does not mention more granular effects, but the added context is meaningful.

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 one sentence with no filler, front-loading the action and object before scoping to disabled catalog endpoints. Every word earns its place.

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?

With a single fully-documented parameter and an output schema present, the description is mostly complete: it names the workflow, object, and scope. It could be slightly stronger by noting that usage is only appropriate when the endpoint is disabled or by routing to alternatives, but this is a minor gap at low complexity.

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?

The input schema fully describes the only parameter, slug, including its pattern and the instruction to use the exact provider/endpoint slug from search. The description does not add parameter-level detail, but schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 uses a specific verb ('Create') with a precise resource ('short-lived human approval link') scoped to 'one disabled catalog endpoint.' This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like execute or pin_endpoint, which operate on endpoints differently.

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 phrase 'for one disabled catalog endpoint' implies the tool is for requesting access when an endpoint is disabled, but it never explicitly states when to choose it over alternatives or what prerequisites apply. No alternatives/exclusions are named.

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