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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false and openWorldHint=true; the description adds nothing about duplicate-submission behavior, required permissions, or side effects. It restates what the schema fields already say rather than extending the behavioral picture.

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?

One compact sentence with the verb and resource front-loaded and no wasted clauses. Its brevity, however, borders on under-specification for a six-parameter creation tool.

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?

A destructive, non-idempotent creation tool with six parameters, no output schema, and no explanation of what is returned or what happens on duplicate submissions. The description does not carry enough for an agent to call it confidently in edge cases.

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?

With schema description coverage at 67%, the description only re-lists field names ("type, date, agency, inspector and notes") that are already visible in the schema, and never mentions project_id despite it being required. It adds no meaning for the undocumented parameters such as notes or the agency enum semantics.

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 plus resource ("Logs an inspection") and lists the captured attributes, so an agent knows this creates an inspection record on a project. It does not, however, distinguish it from the closely related record_inspection_result sibling, leaving the create-vs-record boundary for the agent to infer.

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 guidance on when to use this versus record_inspection_result, nor any mention of prerequisites such as the project existing or needing an inspection scheduled first. Usage is only implied by the tool's name.

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