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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive/openWorld, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds value beyond that: results are paginated, and each command indicates whether it runs directly or requires member approval — a non-obvious constraint for a read tool. It doesn't mention rate limits or result size limits, keeping it short of a 5.

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?

Three sentences, each doing distinct work: scope, usage imperative, and operational caveat plus next-step pointer. The most important routing guidance ('search here before saying unavailable') is front-loaded with zero 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?

There is no output schema, and the description compensates by describing the shape of results (paginated, each command's direct-run vs approval status). The main residual gap is search-parameter behavior and whether pagination has a documented page size, but an agent has enough to call and interpret the tool.

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 carry the three parameters. 'Results are paginated' implies limit/offset but gives no ranges or defaults, and the 'search' parameter — the primary discovery lever — is never explained (what fields it matches, substring vs exact). Most parameter meaning is left to the agent to guess.

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+resource ('Discover actions') with explicit scope ('across every application module and organization administration') and differentiates from siblings by saying it covers features 'missing from dedicated tools or REST routes'. An agent can distinguish this from list_apps/list_metrics/execute_command without opening a 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?

Gives an explicit when-to-use rule ('Search here before saying a setting or action is unavailable') and an explicit sequencing rule ('read get_command_schema before running or preparing a change'), naming the sibling tool to use next. Both the use case and the adjacent step are spelled out.

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