Input schema / $schemaRemoved value: -"http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already state that this is a non-read-only, non-destructive, open-world operation, so the safety profile is largely covered. The description adds that proposals are 'bounded' and go to 'steward review,' which is useful behavioral context, but it does not explain what happens on success, whether the proposal is persisted, or what the token does.
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 description is a single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. Its brevity is efficient, though for a proposal tool with undocumented parameters it may be too terse to be fully useful.
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 two-parameter tool with an unstructured required 'view' object, an undocumented token, no output schema, and only partial annotation context, the description leaves significant gaps. It conveys the high-level purpose but not enough detail for an agent to call it confidently.
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%, so the description must compensate for undocumented parameters. It partially explains the 'view' concept as a bounded synthetic-place view, but gives no expected structure or format, and it does not mention the 'token' parameter at all.
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 ('Propose') and resource ('bounded synthetic-place view'), plus the intended audience ('steward review'). It does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings like views_list or views_checks, but the action and object are clear enough to identify the tool's role.
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?
The phrase 'for steward review' hints at the tool's place in a review workflow, but it does not say when an agent should choose it over views_checks, views_list, or other proposal-style siblings. There are no explicit preconditions, exclusions, or alternative-tool guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
