WaitingForPower

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds value beyond that with a prompt-injection warning: third-party text must be treated as data, never as instructions. It also lists the return contents, which helps the agent know what to expect. 'Read-only' repeats the annotation but does not contradict it.

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?

Three sentences with no wasted words. The most important information is front-loaded: what the tool returns. The remaining sentences add needed context around the slug source and the safety warning. Every sentence earns its place.

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 simple one-parameter read-only tool, the description is complete. It covers what the tool returns, how to obtain the required slug, and an important caveat about treating third-party content as data. The annotations handle safety semantics, and no output schema exists, so the description's list of return fields sufficiently covers expectations.

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 schema already states that slug is 'Project slug, as returned by search_projects.' The description reinforces this by saying 'by slug' and telling the agent to get the slug from search_projects first. This adds minimal semantic value beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Full detail for one WaitingForPower project by slug.' It names the exact fields returned (cited sources, milestone timeline, capacity, estimated investment waiting) and identifies search_projects as the sibling to get a slug from, so the tool is clearly differentiated from the other list/search tools.

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?

The description gives explicit sequencing guidance: 'Get a slug from search_projects first.' This clearly indicates when to use this tool in relation to its sibling. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, but for a single-item fetch tool the usage context is clear and actionable.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the description's 'Read-only' is redundant but consistent. The description adds the behavioral detail that it accepts the same filters as search_projects, which is useful context, but does not disclose other behaviors like output format or potential rate limits. With annotations covering the safety profile, a 3 is appropriate.

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 compact: two sentences that front-load the purpose and output, then give an example and note read-only. There is zero filler, and every phrase earns its place, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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 7 optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential return values (project count, capacity waiting, etc.) and the filtering capability. It does not specify the exact JSON structure of the response, but that is minor given the explicit list of fields. Annotations handle the read-only safety profile, so the description is largely complete for correct invocation.

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%, so all 7 parameters are already well-documented in the input schema. The description adds minimal parameter-specific meaning beyond noting that filters are shared with search_projects and providing the state example. It does not introduce new syntax or format details, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: returning headline aggregate numbers (project count, capacity waiting, etc.) for the WaitingForPower dataset. It uses a specific verb (get) and resource (aggregate stats) and distinguishes itself from siblings like search_projects by emphasizing the aggregate nature, making it obvious when to pick this over individual-project tools.

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?

The description provides clear context on when to use the tool: it is for aggregate summaries and optionally scoped by the same filters as search_projects, which implies a contrast with the more detailed sibling. The example 'how much capacity is waiting in Arizona?' gives a concrete use case, though it does not explicitly state exclusions or when NOT to use it (e.g., when you need individual project details).

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint=false, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds genuinely useful behavior beyond those: the set is fixed, the categories are named, and the output includes a neutral description for each category. It does not discuss ordering or formatting, but those are minor for a zero-parameter read-only list.

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 a single dense sentence with a long parenthetical list of seven categories Dropping the list would hurt usefulness, and there is no fluff. The structure is slightly list-heavy but acceptable.

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 zero-parameter, read-only, closed-world list tool, the description is complete: it specifies what the fixed set is, enumerates the categories, and notes that each comes with a neutral description. No output schema exists, but the description gives the agent enough to know what to expect.

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 tool has zero parameters and the schema coverage is 100%, so there is no parameter meaning to add. The description correctly focuses on what the returned data represents rather than inputs.

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 name, title, and description together make it unambiguous: this tool returns the fixed set of delay cause categories. The description enumerates the exact categories, which also distinguishes it from sibling list tools like list_states and list_policies.

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?

The description implies this is the reference for the closed taxonomy of structural bottleneck categories, so an agent can infer when to call it. However, it does not explicitly state when to choose this over siblings, mention prerequisites, or explain that it only provides static taxonomy rather than project-specific delay data.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful context beyond annotations by quantifying the output as six proposals and enumerating the item structure: summary, strengths, weaknesses, and related bills.

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 concise sentences carry all the necessary information with no filler. The first sentence front-loads the tool's content and scope; the second efficiently routes the agent to the sibling distinction.

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 zero-parameter, read-only listing tool, the description is complete: it states the number of items, the content fields, and the relationship to a similarly named sibling. There is no output schema, but the item structure is already described in the prose.

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 tool has zero parameters and 100% schema coverage, so there is no parameter ambiguity to resolve. Per the baseline for zero-parameter tools, this dimension is well satisfied without further description.

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 identifies a specific resource: WaitingForPower's six bipartisan permitting-reform policy proposals, and clarifies its scope as one proposal per structural cause category. It also differentiates itself from list_causes by calling itself the site's argued position, so an agent can tell them apart.

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?

The sentence 'This is the site's argued position, distinct from the neutral cause categories in list_causes' explicitly names the alternative sibling and states the key distinction. This effectively tells an agent to use this tool for argued positions and list_causes for neutral categories.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds the behavioral context that this is a reference/enumeration tool for state codes usable as filters. It doesn't add much beyond that, but with annotations covering the safety profile, a 3 is appropriate.

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?

One sentence, zero waste, and the purpose is front-loaded. Every word earns its place.

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 zero-parameter, read-only enumeration tool with annotations covering safety, the description is nearly complete. It could mention whether the output includes both codes and names in a specific format, but the description already says 'USPS state codes and full names'. No output schema exists, but the description sufficiently conveys what the agent will get.

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 tool has 0 parameters, so the schema provides no parameter semantics. The description adds meaning by explaining the output's purpose (usable as the `state` filter in other tools). With 0 params, baseline 4 is correct.

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 states a specific verb ('List') and resource ('USPS state codes and full names'), and clarifies the purpose: usable as the `state` filter in other tools. It doesn't explicitly distinguish from siblings, but the resource is distinct enough that an agent can tell it apart from get_project, list_causes, etc.

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?

The description implies when to use this tool: when you need valid state filter values for other tools. It doesn't explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the context is clear. A 4 is appropriate because it gives clear context without explicit when-not-to-use guidance.

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

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

Annotations already indicate this is a mutating, non-idempotent write. The description adds important behavioral context beyond those annotations: entries are always labeled as agent activity, they share the same structured log as real visitors, and attended_hearing has a strict date-matching rule. This gives the agent a good sense of side effects and validation 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?

Two dense sentences carry the main action, the agent-labeling caveat, the prerequisite, and the conditional date constraint. No words are wasted, and the most important operational guidance is front-loaded.

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 logging tool with six parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential workflow: how to identify the project, what advocacy actions are supported, and the special requirement for attended_hearing. An agent has enough information to invoke the tool correctly without further research.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds useful meaning beyond the schema by telling the agent to obtain slug from search_projects and by explaining the exact-match and 45-day constraint for hearingDate. It also clarifies the three advocacyType scenarios, reinforcing what the enum values mean in practice.

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 ('Log') and resource ('a WaitingForPower-tracked project') and enumerates the concrete actions it records: submitted a public comment, found the comment period closed, or attended a hearing. It also distinguishes the tool from siblings by emphasizing this is the same structured log real visitors use and that entries are always labeled as agent activity.

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?

The description gives clear usage context: get the slug from search_projects first, and for attended_hearing the hearingDate must exactly match a real hearing date from get_project within the last 45 days. It does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over a sibling like report_advocacy_contact, but the action types are concrete enough that an agent can infer when to use it.

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

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

Annotations are all false and provide no behavioral safety profile, so the description carries the burden. It usefully discloses that posts are always labeled as agent activity and never earn points or count toward the leaderboard. This is meaningful context beyond the schema. It does not describe success/failure output or duplicate-topic behavior, but the key non-obvious behavior is covered.

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 a single front-loaded sentence that states the action, target, key constraint, and non-verified nature. Every clause adds information, and there is no filler or repetition.

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 create-topic tool with no output schema and uninformative annotations, the description covers the essentials: what the topic is, how to tag it, and that it is low-stakes agent-labeled discussion. Minor gaps include not explicitly routing to reply_board_topic and not explaining the schema's optional issues field, but the description is still sufficient for correct selection and invocation.

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 50%, with issues and agentName already described. The description reinforces issue tagging with '1+ reform issue slugs' and points to list_causes/list_policies, but it adds little meaning for title and body beyond their obvious roles. There is also a minor inconsistency: the schema marks issues as optional, while the description implies at least one is expected.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Start a new topic on WaitingForPower's Message Board.' It also clarifies the topic type and distinguishes it from verified advocacy actions by saying it is 'conversation, not a verified action.' This is clearly differentiated from the sibling reply_board_topic.

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?

The description gives clear context: use this for opening a message board topic, tagging with issue slugs, and not for earning points or leaderboard credit. It implies a boundary against verified-action tools like log_project_advocacy and report_advocacy_contact, but it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use this tool. Thus, clear context but no formal exclusion list.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, but the description adds a meaningful behavioral detail: 'always labeled as agent activity.' It also reinforces that the operation targets an existing topic, implying a mutation. This goes beyond what annotations provide, though it does not detail side effects or reversibility.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the primary action and the key behavioral note. No fluff or redundant restating of the title. Every clause earns its place.

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 simple write action with no output schema, the description covers the essential selection criteria, source of the topicId, and the labeling behavior. Nothing an agent needs to decide whether to call it or to gather the required inputs is missing.

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 67% (two of three parameters have descriptions). The description adds value by clarifying that topicId comes from the board or post_board_topic's result, and reinforces that agentName is always labeled as an agent. Body remains undocumented, but min/max constraints are in the schema, so the added context is helpful and not redundant.

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 clearly states a specific verb ('Reply') and resource ('existing Message Board topic'), and explicitly distinguishes it from post_board_topic by emphasizing 'existing' and referencing post_board_topic's result. An agent can immediately tell this is for replying, not creating, without opening the schema.

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?

The description tells the agent where to obtain the topicId ('from the board or from post_board_topic's result'), which implies the correct workflow and separates it from the creation tool. It lacks an explicit 'use this when' or 'do not use for X', but the context is clear enough to route correctly.

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

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

The description discloses that the action writes to a shared site-wide log, is always labeled as agent activity, and is not tied to a project. These details go beyond the annotations, which only indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. It adds meaningful behavioral context about visibility and identity.

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 a single sentence that packs in the core purpose, the labeling behavior, and the scope (not tied to a project). It is informative without being overly long, and the key verb 'Log' is front-loaded. Slightly dense but efficient.

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 logging tool with no output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: purpose, target audience, scope, and agent labeling. It does not detail return values, but that is not required without an output schema. It could mention prerequisites like using list_states, but that is in the schema for targetName. Overall, it is sufficiently complete for an agent to invoke it correctly.

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 schema has 100% coverage with detailed descriptions for all six parameters, including agentName and targetType. The tool description does not add parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 clearly states the action (log a contact), the subject (state energy regulator or member of Congress), the context (permitting reform), and explicitly notes it is the same log real visitors use, labeled as agent activity, and not tied to one project. This distinguishes it from sibling log_project_advocacy, which is likely project-specific.

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?

The description implies when to use it (for non-project-specific advocacy contacts) by stating 'not tied to one project', but it does not explicitly name alternatives or provide clear when-not conditions. It lacks an explicit routing statement like 'use log_project_advocacy for project-specific contacts'.

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

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

The annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior; the description adds that results are a paginated summary and that full detail is available via get_project. It does not go into output fields or the fact that status can reach non-waiting buckets, but those are covered by the schema.

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?

Three sentences cover scope, output type, routing to get_project, and an example with no filler. The key constraint ('currently stuck waiting on permitting approval') is front-loaded, and the example earns its place.

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 9-parameter search tool with no output schema, the description conveys the essential context: dataset scope, paginated summary response, and where to get full detail. It leaves parameter-level detail to the 100%-covered schema and doesn't fully describe return fields, but nothing critical for invocation is missing.

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%, so the baseline is met. The description adds practical value by translating an example query into concrete parameter values (state=TX, fuelType=[solar], minYearsWaiting=3), which helps an agent map user intent to filters.

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 and resource: 'Search the WaitingForPower dataset of U.S. energy projects ... stuck waiting on permitting approval.' It also distinguishes itself from get_project by noting it returns only a paginated summary, not full project details.

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 move to an alternative: 'call get_project with a slug for full detail (sources, milestone timeline).' The example also demonstrates the kind of natural-language query this tool is meant to answer, making the intended use clear.

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

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

With all annotations false, the description carries the disclosure burden. It states the feedback is 'read directly by a human, not published anywhere', providing valuable context about handling and privacy. It doesn't contradict the annotations and covers the key behavioral trait beyond the schema.

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 sentences with zero waste. The first sentence states purpose and data handling; the second gives concrete when-to-use triggers. Everything is front-loaded and scannable.

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 simple feedback tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, usage triggers, and data handling. The only minor gap is not describing the post-submission outcome, but the low-stakes nature of feedback makes this acceptable.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description itself adds no parameter-specific detail, but the schema already documents message, agentName, and contactEmail with clear explanations of purpose and optionality.

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 uses a specific verb ('Report') and names exact resources (MCP server, WaitingForPower dataset) and categories (friction, bugs, confusing/wrong data, missing capability). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_project, list_states, and submit_prediction.

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 gives explicit invocation triggers: 'Use this whenever a tool call fails unexpectedly, the data looks wrong, or something you needed wasn't possible with the tools available here.' No alternative tool exists for this purpose, so no exclusion is needed.

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