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

Adds substantial context beyond the annotations: reports promise nothing, so the agent must tell the user it was sent and never that something will be built or fixed, and must never include passwords or tokens. It also states an auth requirement (Cotlet API key or sign-in). Minor friction remains between 'a missing dedicated tool is not a problem to report' and the schema's missing_feature enum covering a missing tool step, which an agent may have to reconcile on its own.

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?

Front-loaded and nearly waste-free, with each sentence carrying a distinct rule (what to report, what not to report, what to promise, what never to include, auth). The opening sentence runs long with an embedded list, which slightly slows the scan.

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 7-parameter submission tool with no output schema, everything an agent needs is present: report scope, kind routing, PII exclusions, auth prerequisite, and the required user-facing framing. Return values need not be explained because no output schema exists and the tool's effect is a fire-and-forget submission.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning: which content belongs in the report (the page, the step, what you saw, error text, call_id) and how kind selection maps to user-facing intent. That goes beyond the field-level descriptions rather than restating them.

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?

Names a specific verb and target ('Sends a report to the Cotlet team') and immediately enumerates the three reportable situations: failed tool, wrong data, blocking error, un-doable browser step. It is clearly distinguishable from its siblings, none of which submit reports.

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?

Gives explicit when-to-use cases and an explicit when-not-to-use case ('A missing dedicated tool is not a problem to report: do the task in the browser'), plus a routing rule that a user-requested feature goes as feature_request. Alternative actions are named rather than implied.

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