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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and idempotentHint=true, which is a potentially confusing profile for a tool named 'offboard'. The description resolves that tension directly by stating it 'opens nothing by itself' and only returns instructions, and it discloses the shape of the return value (screens, buttons, fields). It adds no detail on whether the guidance is member-specific or generic, which is the remaining gap.

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 instruction (returns steps, performs nothing, then act via cotlet_browser_*) is front-loaded and useful. But 'from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent' is filler, and the closing note about CharlieHR's API breadth and the dated 'checked 20 Oct 2026' marker are meta-commentary that dilutes an otherwise tight definition.

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 input schema, no output schema and full annotation coverage, the description supplies what the structured fields cannot: that the tool is informational, what it returns, and which tools carry out the actual work. The one meaningful omission is stating that the guidance is not tied to a specific team member, which an agent needs in order to set expectations about the result.

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 takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4 and there is no parameter semantics for the description to compensate for. It does not, however, clarify that because no member identifier is accepted, the returned steps must be generic — an agent could mistakenly expect to target a specific person.

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 plus the concrete operation: it returns step-by-step instructions (screens, buttons, fields) for offboarding a team member in CharlieHR, and explicitly does not perform the action. That resolves the ambiguity created by the action-style tool name. It does not explicitly contrast itself with the other charliehr_* siblings, which keeps it at 4 rather than 5.

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 clear usage context: call this first to get the walkthrough, then execute with cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's CharlieHR Cloud Browser. The note about CharlieHR's narrow API and lack of an MCP server explains why this route exists. There is no explicit exclusion or guidance on when offboarding should not be attempted, so it stops short of 5.

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