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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only the fact that the response carries processing status and optional table details, which is largely restated in the schema; it says nothing about pagination behavior, ordering, or default time window for the history.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler or repetition. It is efficiently sized, though the space saved could have been used to resolve the sibling overlap.

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?

Annotations cover the safety profile and the schema covers all seven parameters at 86% coverage, so the remaining burden on the description is small. The one real gap is the unresolved ambiguity with get_warehouse_upload_with_tables, which the description never addresses.

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 86%, so parameters (limit, offset, status enum, source_id, destination_id, include_tables) are already well documented structurally. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema — even the 'optional table details' phrase merely echoes include_tables.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ("Get warehouse upload history") plus the payload contents (processing status, optional table details), which is far more informative than the bare name. However it does not distinguish itself from the sibling get_warehouse_upload_with_tables, even though this tool's include_tables flag appears to overlap that sibling's purpose.

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?

There is no when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative guidance. The obvious question an agent would have — should I call this with include_tables=true or call get_warehouse_upload_with_tables? — is left entirely unanswered by the description.

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