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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, but the description does not elaborate on side effects such as whether importing adds to or replaces existing project context, network dependencies, failure modes, or whether authentication is required. The openWorldHint annotation is also unexplained.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no redundancy. It is appropriately concise for what it conveys, though it may be too terse given the tool's complexity.

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 complex polymorphic 'sources' parameter, the absence of an output schema, and limited annotation detail, the description is incomplete. It lacks parameter formats, return behavior, and edge-case considerations, making it insufficient for reliable invocation.

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% (only team_id is documented). The description lists source types but does not clarify whether the 'sources' parameter accepts URLs, file paths, or object structures, nor does it elaborate on projectId. It provides some value but fails to compensate for the low coverage.

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 states the action ('Import') and the resource ('source context into a project'), and enumerates supported source types (GitHub, app-store, website, file, media). It distinguishes from siblings like analyze_project or upload_media, though it does not explicitly contrast with them.

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?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. The description merely restates the function without contextualizing it within the broader workflow or explaining when it is preferable to other tools.

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