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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false and destructive=false, but the description adds real value: it is confirmation-free ('runs without asking first'), non-notifying, and reversible ('the task can be removed in DoorLoop'). It also names the required API key scope, which the annotations do not cover.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence and each following sentence adds a distinct constraint. Slightly wordy (the 'runs without asking first' clause includes a redundant justification), but no filler.

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 create tool with no output schema and full param coverage, the definition covers what is created, what it does not do (notify), autonomy/reversibility, and auth needs. Missing only explicit routing against sibling create/notify tools.

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 all five parameters. The description echoes subject, optional property/unit, and due date but adds no format or syntax detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 (creates) and resource (task or work order), with scope (for a property or unit). An agent can distinguish it from doorloop_list_tasks without opening either schema.

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 use by describing what a task is and that it 'does not message anyone by itself', but never states when to choose it over siblings like doorloop_send_announcement or doorloop_create_lease, nor any prerequisites beyond an API key.

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