Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already flag this as destructive (destructiveHint=true) and non-read-only with openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds the meaningful detail that the URL can be overridden, but does not disclose that existing extraction results are discarded or overwritten, which is the key behavioral risk for a destructive re-run.
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 core verb and the optional override are both conveyed without waste.
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?
This is a destructive, likely asynchronous operation in a toolset full of job/poll siblings (get_content_job, list_content_jobs), yet the description does not say whether re-analysis returns a job handle or completes inline, nor what happens to prior results. With no output schema to compensate, the definition leaves the agent guessing.
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 load; it clarifies that url is optional and represents a corrected URL ('optionally against a corrected URL'). It says nothing about sourceId beyond what the name implies, leaving half the parameters without added meaning.
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 ('Re-run extraction') and resource ('a content source'), and adds the corrected-URL nuance. It is distinguishable from update_content_source and regenerate_content_piece, though it does not explicitly name those siblings.
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?
There is no guidance on when to re-analyze versus create/update a source, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives such as update_content_source or get_content_source. The agent must infer the scenario entirely.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
