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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=false and readOnlyHint=false, so the agent knows writes are not destructive. The description usefully clarifies that the output is a draft for review rather than a live mutation, but adds nothing about permissions, the review/approval flow, or rate/repeat behavior.

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 sentence with no filler; the contrastive 'instead of...' clause carries the key distinction. It is efficient, though a bit terse given the schema gaps it could have covered.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and annotations cover the safety profile. However, for a proposal/review workflow the description omits what happens after the draft is produced or how it relates to the refresh/approval siblings, leaving a modest gap.

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 only 33%: workspaceId is richly documented in the schema while sectionKey and instruction have no descriptions. The tool description adds no meaning for any of the three parameters, so it fails to compensate for the two undocumented fields.

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 ('draft a proposed playbook change') and resource (workspace playbook), and contrasts it with the direct-overwrite alternative, so an agent knows this produces a proposal rather than a live edit. It does not name the sibling it pairs with (e.g. campaignstack_refresh_workspace_playbook), so it stops short of full sibling differentiation.

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?

'Instead of directly overwriting the live playbook' implies the intent (changes for review), but no explicit when-to-use/when-not conditions, prerequisites, or named alternative tools are given. Usage must be inferred from the contrastive clause alone.

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