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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It reveals that a workaround is mandatory and should be verified, but it does not disclose side effects, whether submissions are immutable, duplicate handling, authentication requirements, or what happens after submission. For a mutation tool with 9 parameters and no annotations, this is a major gap.

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 short and front-loaded, stating the action first. The second sentence largely repeats the workaround requirement already stated in the first, which is minor redundancy rather than harmful verbosity.

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?

Given the tool's complexity—9 parameters, 5 required fields, a nested environment object, an enum, no annotations, and no output schema—the two-sentence description is far too sparse. It covers the core purpose but leaves the agent without enough information to invoke the tool confidently.

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 22%, so the description should compensate for the many undocumented parameters. It only reinforces that workaround is mandatory and adds that it should be verified; it does not explain grievance_type values, target, harness, environment structure, fingerprint, or submitted_by.

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 gives a specific verb and resource: submitting a structured infrastructure friction report. It clearly conveys the core action, but it does not distinguish this tool from siblings such as report_patch_outcome or get_grievances.

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?

It implies usage by saying a verified workaround is mandatory, but gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, no when-not-to-use guidance, and no alternatives among the sibling tools. An agent must infer whether this is the right reporting tool for a given situation.

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