Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden, yet it discloses nothing: not whether submissions are batched, whether they consume a turn, whether they are validated atomically, or what happens on partial failure. The only hint, that it maps to an HTTP POST, tells the agent almost nothing about behavior.
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?
It is short, but the brevity comes from under-specification rather than efficiency. The parenthetical endpoint reference consumes the only content slot that could have explained the tool.
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?
A mutation tool with three undocumented parameters, no annotations, no output schema, and no explanation of the payload contract. Nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly is present.
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?
All three parameters (city_id, actions, idempotency_key) have 0% schema description coverage and the description says nothing about any of them. The 'actions' array in particular is untyped and undocumented, so an agent has no way to know what element shape to send.
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 plus a project label and notes it is identical to POST /api/submit_actions. It never says what an 'action' is or what submitting one accomplishes, so an agent cannot distinguish this from assign_line, dispatch_wave, research, or other sibling actions.
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 at all. With 33 sibling tools in a game where many are action-submitting commands, the absence of routing guidance is a serious gap.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
