Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`items`	No	the rows of a list operation
`status`	Yes	ok (the operation succeeded) or refused (see refusal; for wa_update_group, applied lists the changes that took effect before it)

A4/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

The description clarifies *what* is being modified (group membership/channel subscription), which adds functional context. However, the primary behavioral safety (destructive nature) is handled by the annotations, limiting the description's added value in this category.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The definition is maximally concise, providing the full scope of the tool's function in a single, highly efficient sentence. The structure is perfectly front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the simplicity of the input schema and the presence of strong annotations (destructive, not read-only), the description provides all necessary context for a successful initial tool call decision.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema description coverage is 100%, setting a baseline of 3. The description reiterates that the JID and account_id are the necessary arguments, but adds no specific semantic nuance beyond the schema's provided definitions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses clear verbs ('leave', 'unfollow') and identifies the resource scope ('group' or 'channel'). It is highly specific about the tool's function and avoids ambiguity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The purpose itself serves as the primary guideline. By specifying 'leave' or 'unfollow', it naturally excludes the use of tools like 'join' or 'follow'. It is clear about when this operation is required.

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