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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and non-openWorld, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one genuinely useful fact not in annotations — that access is public (no auth required) — but says nothing about pagination behavior (cursor) or result ordering. Modest added value over the structured fields.

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 core action and its return content, with no filler. The 'Public access.' fragment is terse but functional rather than wasteful.

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 2-parameter, paginated read tool with no output schema, the definition does not say what a correction record contains, how results are ordered or paged, or what entry_id refers to. The annotations cover safety, but the operational picture an agent needs before calling is largely absent.

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 0%, so the description carries the full burden, yet it never mentions entry_id (required, 3-150 chars) or cursor (pagination offset). An agent must infer from the schema alone what entry_id identifies and that cursor drives paging; the description adds no parameter meaning.

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 ('Read') and resource ('proposed corrections') plus the status dimension it returns (reviewed/applied/rejected), which separates it from apply_correction and resolve_correction. It stops short of explicitly naming those siblings as alternatives, so it is clear but not fully differentiated.

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?

'Public access' is a weak hint that the tool works without authentication, but there is no statement of when to use this versus apply_correction, resolve_correction, or suggest_correction. No prerequisites, no exclusion conditions, no guidance on how it fits into the review workflow.

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