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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does add a meaningful consequence: feature_request proposals that pass become real code via the founder agent. However, it does not disclose side effects of filing, such as whether proposals are editable, immuted, or expensive, making the behavioral picture partial.

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?

Two focused sentences frontload the primary action, pack the enum into an inline list, and add a valuable behavioral note. Every clause 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?

Given the simple schema and no output schema, the description covers why, what, and the notable consequence for feature requests. It leaves out what an agent should tell the user after filing or any explicit confirmation/returns, but this is a minor gap for a low-parameter governance 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%, and the text repeats the kind values from the schema. The added value is the hint that feature_request proposals have a real-code outcome, but the description does not substantially increase parameter understanding beyond the schema.

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 opens with the concrete action 'File a governance proposal' and enumerates the exact proposal kinds. This clearly distinguishes creating a proposal from siblings such as cast_vote or create_artifact.

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 makes the main context clear — this is the tool for filing governance proposals of the listed kinds — but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name an alternative. The context is enough to route an agent, though exclusions are not spelled out.

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