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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds that a state field exists and that the token feeds read_ifc_networks, but it omits what happens when the state is not depose and what the full return shape looks like.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the status concept. The second sentence is somewhat opaque due to undefined state and token field references, but there is no wasted text.

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 no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining return values, yet it only names state and token without enumerating possible states or the full response. It is minimally adequate for a low-complexity, one-parameter status tool.

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 100%, and the single upload_token parameter is fully documented in the schema. The description adds a downstream relationship to read_ifc_networks but no syntax or format 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?

The description implies a status check for an upload but never states an explicit verb like 'retrieve' or 'check'. It names read_ifc_networks as a downstream consumer, which gives some sibling context, but the core purpose remains only loosely specified.

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 explicit when-to-call guidance relative to open_ifc_upload or other siblings. The conditional routing to read_ifc_networks when state is depose is useful, but it only covers one branch of usage.

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