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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden and it delivers: it warns that the action is irreversible, requires typed confirmation, schedules posts to the real audience, returns cleanly when no week is ready, and reports unscheduleable posts per-post rather than dropping them. This is strong behavioral disclosure.

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 dense but every sentence earns its place: trigger, invocation guidance, irreversible consequence, and edge-case return behavior. The most important usage rule is front-loaded, and there is no filler.

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 there is no output schema and no annotations, the description covers all essential operational facts: invocation variants, side effects, confirmation requirement, and return behavior for empty or partially unscheduleable weeks. An agent has enough to call this tool correctly and warn the user appropriately.

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 coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains batchId well: omit it for the current week, or provide a YYYY-MM-DD week start. It implies the confirm parameter's role through 'REQUIRING typed confirmation' but never explicitly says 'confirm must be true', leaving a small inference gap.

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 pair: approve/ship/publish the week. It is not a tautology and clearly distinguishes this from siblings like generate_autopilot_week and adjust_autopilot_week by framing the action as an approval/go-live rather than generation or adjustment.

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 explicitly states when to call ('Use when the user asks to approve/ship/publish the week'), how to invoke it ('Call directly'), and what not to do ('never read status first to find an id'). It does not name sibling alternatives by tool name, but the exclusion of the status-reading approach is clear and practical.

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