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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, open-world), so the bar is lower, and the description adds real value: it discloses the API-key authentication requirement and the owner-only access restriction. It could say more about polling behavior or whether status is terminal, but the auth constraint is the key missing piece and it is present.

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 opening sentence is front-loaded and useful, but it is immediately duplicated in Korean, and the Args/Returns block largely restates what the fully-described schema and output schema already convey. Content is short overall, but a meaningful share of it does not earn its place.

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 read-only status check with full schema descriptions and an output schema, the description covers the prerequisite workflow (upload_skill), the auth requirement, and the owner restriction. Nothing an agent needs in order to call this correctly is missing.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline would be 3, but the description adds meaning beyond the schema: it notes version_id may be either the version_id or the vetting_job_id returned by upload_skill, a nuance the schema does not state. The owner-only note on api_key reinforces the schema's wording rather than adding new constraints.

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 and resource: 'Check the security vetting status of an uploaded skill version,' which an agent can distinguish from upload_skill or get_vetting_result at a glance. It does not, however, explicitly contrast itself with the close sibling get_vetting_result (status vs. detailed result), leaving that boundary to inference.

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 clear usage context: version_id must come from a prior upload_skill result, and the caller must be the skill owner. It stops short of explicit exclusions or naming an alternative tool for retrieving full vetting results, so it is clear context without routing guidance.

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