ship_move

Record completion only after the founder explicitly confirms it. Use prepared_result after reviewing the current prepared attempt, or independent_work when the founder completed it separately. Site changes need a live published_url to ship; without one they stay prepared. This records an attestation; it never publishes anything. Free; requires the 'act' scope.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With only readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false in annotations, the description carries real added burden and meets it: it discloses the act scope requirement, that the call is free, and most importantly that it 'records an attestation; it never publishes anything' – a non-obvious side-effect profile for a tool named 'ship'.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Four dense sentences, front-loaded with the confirmation gate, then the kind selection, then the published_url rule, then the attestation/scope footer. No sentence is filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 13-param, no-output-schema tool this covers the decision logic and safety profile well, and the attestation framing tells the agent what the call effectively returns (nothing published). The gap is the undocumented expected_* concurrency parameters and their required-with relationships.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 54% across 13 params. The description adds genuine meaning for completion_kind, published_url (explicitly distinguished from planned_url), and final_text, but says nothing about the optimistic-concurrency params (expected_move_state/expected_move_updated_at, required for independent_work per the schema) or how job_id/attempt_id relate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (record) and object (completion of a move), and the gating condition (founder confirmation). It is distinguishable from lifecycle siblings like accept_move, review_move, skip_move, and undo_move, though it never names them explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives concrete selection guidance between the two completion_kind values ('prepared_result after reviewing the current prepared attempt' vs 'independent_work when the founder completed it separately') plus a conditional rule (site changes need a live published_url or they stay prepared). It does not, however, contrast against the other move-lifecycle siblings.

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