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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does a strong job: it states what is returned (prepare URL, library page, drafting hints), includes an explicit negative behavior ('Does NOT auto-send for signature'), and clarifies how notes are used ('echoed as a drafting brief'). It could go further on any side effects or persistence behavior, but the core safety and workflow behavior is transparent.

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 three sentences with no filler. Its front-loads the purpose first, then shows outcomes, then clarifies what does not happen and how notes are handled. Each sentence adds distinct value.

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, no-output-schema tool, the description covers the action, the return values, the human-review boundary, and the role of notes. It could usefully mention what an agent should do with the drafting hints, and whether any draft state is persisted immediately, but nothing critical is missing for an agent to decide to call it.

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 100%, so parameters are already documented. The description adds meaningful value for 'notes' by explaining they are echoed as a drafting brief for the assistant, which is behavior beyond the schema's syntax-level description. The schema's slug description also reinforces where the slug comes from (list_templates).

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 clearly identifies the action ('Start an agentic drafting workflow') and the resource ('a trusted Docracy template'), then names distinct outputs. It differentiates from sibling tools by framing this as a drafting workflow initialization rather than a status check, template retrieval, or template listing.

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 description implies the intended context: use this when you want to begin drafting from a template, not merely to inspect or list templates. It also explicitly informs the agent of a workflow limitation: it does not auto-send for signature. It does not explicitly say 'use list_templates to find the slug before calling this' or name alternative tools, but the boundary is reasonably clear.

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