A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds real behavioral context beyond the annotations: zero-budget tasks complete with no payment, paid flow is decoupled from settlement, and owner authorization is required. Annotations already flag destructive/non-idempotent/open-world, so the description correctly focuses on business consequences rather than restating safety hints.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three tight clauses: what it does, the zero-budget consequence, and the payment/authorization caveats. Front-loaded and free of filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a two-param mutation with no output schema and full annotation coverage, the description covers preconditions and outcome semantics adequately. It could say more about irreversibility or resulting task state, but the destructive annotation carries part of that burden.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and both params (id, actorId) are documented in the schema, including how to obtain actorId via list_my_actors. The description adds no parameter-level detail, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource with role qualification: 'Requester accepts submitted work'. This distinguishes it thematically from submit_task (worker side) and request_revision (reject path), though no sibling is named explicitly. An agent can identify the operation without opening the schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

'Use only after the owner explicitly authorizes acceptance' gives a concrete precondition for calling this tool. It also clarifies the boundary against settlement ('Paid acceptance is separate from settlement'), which implicitly steers to mark_payment_paid for the money step. No explicit when-not list beyond the authorization caveat.

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