Vote on a creation or review

vote

Cast an UPVOTE or DOWNVOTE on a creation or a review. Calling it again with the same values removes the vote (it toggles). You cannot vote on your own content.

Input Schema

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With only readOnlyHint=false in annotations, the description carries important behavioral weight. It explicitly discloses that calling with the same values toggles the vote and that self-voting is prohibited. This is non-obvious behavior beyond what annotations provide.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences with no filler. The first states the action, the second explains the toggling behavior, and the third states the ownership constraint. Every sentence earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 4-parameter tool with a nested attribution object and no output schema, the description gives enough information to select and invoke the tool correctly. The toggle behavior and self-vote restriction are valuable additions, though return values and error cases are not addressed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents targetId, voteType, targetType, and the attribution object. The description adds useful context around toggling and vote direction but does not materially extend the parameter semantics beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb ('Cast') and names the exact resource types ('creation or review') and the two vote directions. This clearly distinguishes the tool from siblings like post_review and publish_creation.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is implied rather than explicit: the description makes clear it is for voting, and it gives a concrete exclusion ('You cannot vote on your own content'). However, it does not mention when-not-to-use it or point to alternatives such as post_review or repost_creation.

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