Input schema / $schemaRemoved value: -"http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the dangerous profile is known. The description adds only 'owner-approved' as a consent hint, and says nothing about what state is created or overwritten, whether the action is reversible, or what failures look like — the key gaps for a destructive tool.
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?
A single front-loaded verb phrase with zero filler, which is structurally clean. However, the brevity comes from under-specification rather than economy — there is no second sentence where critical detail could have been added.
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 destructive, non-read-only tool whose main parameter is an opaque free-form object and with no output schema, the description leaves out almost everything an agent needs to invoke it safely. The only compensating signal is 'owner-approved', which is not enough to know what an apply actually does.
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 0% and three parameters exist, including a free-form 'manifest' with an empty schema and an undocumented 'token'. The description does not explain manifest structure, provenance, or what the token authorizes, so it fails to compensate for the missing schema documentation.
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 gives a specific verb ('Apply') and resource ('owner-approved trusted experience manifest'), so the operation's basic nature is clear. It does not distinguish itself from the sibling tools experiences_preview and experiences_validate, which an agent will plausibly confuse it with.
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?
No guidance on when to use this versus experiences_preview or experiences_validate, no stated preconditions (e.g. that the manifest must first be validated), and no mention of when not to use it. The word 'owner-approved' implies a prerequisite but never explains it as a usage rule.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
