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

The description goes well beyond the sparse annotations by disclosing determinism, the always-running lifecycle, the prohibition on inferring protected facts, idempotency/retry behavior, and confirmation boundaries. This is rich behavioral context that an agent needs and that annotations alone do not provide.

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 core purpose is front-loaded, but the description is long and includes a confusing phrase: 'plus every prerequisite stated above' when no explicit prerequisite list appears above it. The content is largely useful, but it would benefit from tighter structure such as bullets.

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?

There is no output schema, and the description does not clearly specify the response shape beyond 'returned questions' and 'actual_tool_output and context_engineering.' It covers many behavioral constraints well, but the concrete output contract and side-effect profile remain somewhat underspecified.

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%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description does not add meaningful parameter-level detail beyond what is in the input schema, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 names a specific action ('resolve and materialize') and a specific resource ('the company's current operating graph'), so an agent can tell this is not a simple status or payment tool. However, it does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools such as get_company_briefing or get_status, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

The description provides contextual constraints such as 'never report globally done' and 'trust the returned actual_tool_output instead of adding a state-recovery call,' which gives some usage guidance. But it never states when to choose this tool over sibling alternatives, so the usage conditions remain mostly implied.

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