B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, and idempotentHint=false, so the agent knows this is a non-idempotent write that reaches outside the system. The description usefully confirms the HTTP POST delivery mechanism and enumerates triggering events, but adds nothing on auth/validation requirements, retry behavior, or whether the URL must be verified.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two sentences, front-loaded with the action and delivery behavior, then the event list. The enumeration is long but earns its place by naming valid trigger values; only the incompleteness of that list counts against it.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a 5-parameter mutation with annotations covering the safety profile and no output schema, the description covers the what and the event vocabulary adequately. It omits the optional filterPrompt, prerequisites, and any post-creation behavior, leaving some gaps an agent would want.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description lists supported events but this list is redundant with (and actually narrower than) the schema enum, which also permits number.throttled and number.resumed — the omission could mislead an agent relying on the prose. The optional filterPrompt is not mentioned at all.

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 (Register) plus resource (outbound webhook) and the core behavior: sends HTTP POST requests to an external URL on bot events. The 'outbound' qualifier and external-URL direction distinguish it from the sibling neuron_create_webhook, though the differentiation is implied rather than explicit.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied (create this when you want bot events forwarded to an external endpoint), but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no mention of prerequisites (e.g., a valid bot must exist), and no reference to the sibling create_webhook or list_outbound_webhooks alternatives.

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