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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true; the description adds the crucial specifics those hints cannot: the change goes live on a public product page, is shopper-visible, and behaves differently on Shopify vs other stores. It stops short of covering reversibility or failure handling.

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?

Front-loads the verb and effect, then the per-store behavior, then the consent requirement. Each sentence carries information, though 'Shoppers can see it once it is published' partially restates the publishing effect.

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?

Covers the side effect, the platform-dependent behavior, and the human-consent requirement, which is sufficient for a single-parameter action tool with no output schema. Missing only edge-case behavior such as what happens on failure or how to undo an approval.

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?

Only one parameter and schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already carries 'A ready frame id from get_shoot or list_shoots.' The description reinforces the 'ready frame' precondition but adds no new format, sourcing, or constraint detail beyond the schema.

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 ('Approves') and resource ('a ready frame'), then explains the concrete outcome: publishing to the live product page on Shopify versus saving to the product in Shootika. This is clearly distinguishable from siblings like remove_frame or start_shoot.

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?

Provides an explicit workflow prerequisite — 'Ask the person before approving, and show them the frame first' — which is real usage guidance for an externally visible action. It does not, however, contrast with alternatives (e.g., remove_frame to undo) or state when not to use it.

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