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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not state whether this is a read or write operation, whether it mutates incident state, what permissions are required, or what the return behavior is; 'BLACK receives zero' is an unexplained business rule and far from sufficient.

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 extremely terse, but the shortness reflects under-specification rather than efficient conciseness. Two fragments leave key operational meaning unexplained and the cryptic BLACK rule is not front-loaded with enough context to be useful.

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 tool with no annotations, no output schema, and an undocumented parameter, the description does not provide enough context to invoke it safely or correctly. The unexplained BLACK rule further adds ambiguity rather than resolving it.

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 single parameter incident_id has no schema description (coverage 0%). The description's 'for an incident' implies the parameter identifies an incident but gives no format, source, or constraints, leaving the agent to rely on the parameter name alone.

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 restates the tool name ('Allocation order') and adds a cryptic allocation rule ('BLACK receives zero') but does not use a clear action verb or distinguish this tool from siblings like declare_incident or retriage_run. An agent cannot tell whether it retrieves, computes, or sets an allocation order.

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?

No when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative guidance is provided. The reference to BLACK is unexplained domain context rather than usage guidance.

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