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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered elsewhere. The description adds almost nothing behavioral — it doesn't say whether this opens a ticket, returns an answer synchronously, or has latency; 'Coming soon' hints at availability but stops short of clarifying what happens when invoked.

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?

Only two short sentences with no filler, which is good. But the front-loaded slot is spent on an availability caveat ('Coming soon') rather than the tool's purpose, so the most decision-relevant information arrives second.

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?

An output schema exists so return values needn't be explained, and annotations cover safety, but for a tool whose availability is explicitly in doubt and whose single parameter is undocumented in both schema and description, an agent lacks enough to decide whether and how to call it.

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?

One parameter ('question') exists with 0% schema description coverage and no required flag, so the description must compensate. It only gestures at the parameter ('hand a support question') without stating expected format, length, or whether an empty default string is meaningful, leaving the schema's gaps unfilled.

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 does state what the tool does — escalate a support question the agent can't resolve to 'Ari' — but the leading 'Coming soon' muddies whether it is callable at all. It never distinguishes itself from near-identical siblings like ask_a_human or get_human_answer, so an agent cannot confidently route between them.

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?

'Hand a support question your agent can't settle to Ari' implies a trigger condition (unresolvable questions), which is useful context. However, it names no alternatives or exclusions, which is a serious gap given three sibling escalation tools exist and no guidance selects among them.

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