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

The description adds a significant behavioral disclosure: renaming a landscape-linked folder permanently stops landscape name-sync. This goes beyond the annotations, which only state readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, and informs the agent of an irreversible side effect.

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 sentences with no filler. It front-loads the core action and then gives the critical caveat. Every word earns its place.

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 rename operation with two required parameters and no output schema, the description is mostly complete. It supplies the essential permanent side-effect warning, though it does not describe return values or error behavior, which is not critical here.

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%, with detailed descriptions already present for folderId, name, and team_id. The description itself adds no new parameter meaning, 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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Rename a process folder.' This clearly differentiates it from related tools like createClarityFolder, deleteClarityFolder, and reorderClarityFolders. The phrase 'process folder' adds precision beyond the title.

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 conveys when the tool is used—renaming a process folder—but does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusion conditions. The warning about landscape-linked folders implies a when-not-to-use scenario, but no sibling tool is named or recommended.

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