Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description usefully adds billing/limit context ("start Free", "no account user limit") but does not say what happens on a duplicate invite or what permissions are required.
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 tight sentences with the action front-loaded. The second sentence (free tier, no user limit) earns its place as decision-relevant context rather than filler.
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 one-parameter invite tool with annotations covering behavior and no output schema, the description is adequate but thin. It omits permission requirements and duplicate-invite behavior, which an agent would want before invoking a non-idempotent mutation.
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 single `email` parameter has 0% schema description coverage, so the description carries the burden. It only implies that email is the recipient ("Emails an invitation") without giving format or constraint details, leaving the parameter under-documented.
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 ("Emails an invitation") and resource ("to join this Widely account"), so the agent knows exactly what the tool does. No sibling is named, but with no other invite/team-add tool in the list it is hard to confuse.
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 guidance, no prerequisites (e.g. admin permission), and no mention of an alternative if the person is already a member. The agent must infer usage entirely.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
