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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description still earns credit by adding the non-obvious trait that the tool performs no side effect at all and instead returns UI-level instructions, plus the required follow-up tool family. It does not mention connection/auth requirements (e.g., whether the Accelo app must be connected).

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 core behavior is front-loaded and clear, but the sentence 'from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent' is filler and the closing paragraph about Accelo's REST API and hosted MCP server reads as meta-commentary that does not help an agent decide or invoke. The parenthetical '(checked 17 Oct 2026)' adds a dated fact of marginal invocation value.

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?

With no output schema, the description appropriately says what comes back (screens, buttons, fields) and what to do next, which is the key information an agent needs. Missing pieces are modest: whether an Accelo connection is required and how the returned walkthrough is structured.

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?

Zero parameters means the baseline is 4, but a tool titled 'create task' with an empty schema is genuinely puzzling and the description never explains how the task details are conveyed or why no input is needed. That unexplained gap pulls it below baseline even though there is no schema content to compensate for.

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 and resource ('Create task in the user's own Accelo account') and immediately clarifies the actual behavior: it returns step-by-step guidance rather than performing the action. It names the family it hands off to (cotlet_browser_*), which separates it from the other accelo_* mutation siblings. The residual tension between the name ('create') and the body ('opens nothing by itself') costs it a point.

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?

Implies a two-step usage pattern — call this for the walkthrough, then execute via cotlet_browser_* in the user's Accelo Cloud Browser — and notes Accelo's hosted MCP server is 'built for questions about your data,' which indirectly routes read-style questions elsewhere. It never states an explicit when-not-to-use or contrasts with siblings like accelo_update_ticket or accelo_list_tickets.

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