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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=false, so the mutation profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful context the annotations lack: the write is scoped to the suggestion and explicitly leaves the node's owner unchanged, and it discloses the manager+ authorization requirement.

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?

A single sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, then the crucial scoping and permission qualifiers. No filler.

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?

Covers purpose, permission level, and the scope of the destructive write, which is enough for an agent to act safely. However, for a two-parameter required-arg tool with zero schema documentation, the absence of any explanation of nodeId vs suggestionId leaves a real gap.

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 0% with no property descriptions; nodeId and suggestionId are UUIDs with no textual explanation. The description does not mention either parameter or their roles (which node, which suggestion), so it fails to compensate for the coverage gap.

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?

Specific verb (dismiss) + resource (a pending Process Landscape team-assignment suggestion), with the exact non-effect stated ('without changing the node's owner'). This cleanly separates it from the sibling acceptClarityTeamAssignmentSuggestion without opening either schema.

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 word 'pending' and the '(manager+)' permission hint give implied usage context, but the description never names the alternative (acceptClarityTeamAssignmentSuggestion) or states when not to use it. An agent must infer the routing from the verb alone.

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