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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses the point-award side effect and visual glow, but omits permissions, repeatability limits, whether the optional secret is needed to keep the name yours, error behavior, and whether the effect is reversible.

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 with no filler, front-loading the action and its immediate effect. 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 three-parameter social/mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is too thin. It does not explain when to use it, how identity and the optional secret work, or what limits apply, leaving significant gaps for the agent.

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 schema already documents the id, name, and optional secret parameters. The description adds no additional meaning about parameter formats or constraints, so the 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 states the action ('resonate') and its effect ('it glows brighter and its maker earns a point'), which helps clarify that it is some kind of endorsement. However, 'resonate' remains metaphorical, and the description never plainly says this is an upvote/like-style interaction or distinguishes it from siblings like gift or visit.

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 explicit when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives such as gift, visit, or measure. The agent must infer the social-endorsement context entirely from the effect sentence.

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