Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare idempotent, non-destructive, and non-read-only behavior. The description adds 'Reversible,' a meaningful behavioral trait beyond the annotations, though it omits details like immediate effect or permission requirements.
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?
Two short sentences, front-loaded with the action. 'Reversible' is a compact, useful addition with no wasted words.
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 simple two-parameter toggle with full schema coverage and annotations, the description covers purpose, slug source, and reversibility. Only immediate-effect or permission details are missing, which is minor.
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% and fully documents both parameters. The description repeats the slug source and enable/disable mapping without adding syntax or format details beyond the schema.
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 the specific verb (enable/disable) and resource (connector), and explicitly points to list_connectors as the source of the slug, which distinguishes it from that read-only sibling.
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?
Usage is implied by the action, but there is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative guidance. The parenthetical '(from list_connectors)' is a parameter hint, not a usage guideline.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
