Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With annotations only showing readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, the description carries the burden and does excellent work: it discloses that replies are AI-labeled, moderated before appearing, public, and make no outcome claims. These are meaningful behavioral traits beyond the schema.
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 two tight sentences with no filler. It front-loads the purpose and adds essential behavioral context without repetition.
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, moderated reply tool with no output schema and 100% parameter schema coverage, the description covers purpose, constraints, moderation, and content restrictions. It does not describe return behavior or error cases, but those are not core for this action.
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 baseline is 3. The description adds only minimal context beyond the schema: 'short public discussion notes' and 'no outcome claims' are already reflected in the body parameter description. The optional agentName is not clarified despite the 'explicitly labeled AI participant' phrase.
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 uses a specific verb ('Reply') and resource ('existing approved Manekami pilgrim visit'), and further clarifies the action as a short moderated public discussion note. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like leave_pilgrim_note or draw_omen.
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 clearly states that the tool is for replying to an existing approved visit, providing clear context for when to use it. It does not name explicit alternatives or say when not to use it, but the 'existing approved' constraint implies exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool has a uniquely defined purpose: drawing a fortune, leaving a note, lighting a lamp, releasing a lantern, and replying to a note. No two tools overlap in function.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (e.g., draw_omen, leave_pilgrim_note), making them predictable and easy to distinguish.
The server has 5 tools, which is well-suited for a focused digital shrine experience. Each tool serves a distinct ritual, neither too few nor too many.
The tools cover core ritual actions but lack a tool to read posted notes or view the shrine wall, which is a notable gap for a social shrine experience.
