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

Annotations already establish the read-only, non-destructive, closed-world profile, so the bar is lower. The description contributes the meaningful constraint that this is a bulk lookup capped at 100 uuids, but says nothing about polling cadence, terminal status values, or behavior for unknown/expired uuids.

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 front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy; the scope constraint leads immediately after the purpose. It is efficient, though its brevity leaves real gaps unaddressed rather than being a model of completeness.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining what comes back, yet it never states the shape of the status response or its possible values. For a two-parameter bulk status tool whose whole purpose is inspecting job state, this leaves the agent under-informed about how to interpret results.

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 only 50%: the 'kind' enum is already documented in the schema (including the default), so the description's mention of 'processing or translation' adds little. The 'uuids' parameter is undocumented by the schema, and the description only gestures at it ('Enterprise uuids'), repeating the maxItems=100 cap rather than explaining where uuids come from or their format.

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?

Names a specific verb and resource ('Get ... status') and adds scope ('for up to 100 Enterprise uuids') plus the two status kinds. It does not, however, distinguish itself from close siblings like enterprise_get_result, enterprise_get_translation, or enterprise_query_results, which an agent must still disambiguate on its own.

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?

There is no explicit when-to-use guidance: nothing says whether this is a polling tool to call after enterprise_process_audio/enterprise_translate, or how it relates to enterprise_get_result or enterprise_get_translation. The job-lifecycle context is only implicit in the phrase 'processing or translation status'.

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