Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already signal a non-read-only action, and the description adds only the vague phrase 'Change a chat's state.' It does not disclose what unpinning does, whether it is reversible, what response to expect, or any permission requirements. No contradiction with annotations is present.
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 text is short, but the generic action list and the '[Flattened action: unpin]' bracket are boilerplate rather than focused tool guidance. It is concise in length yet not appropriately structured for the reader's actual needs.
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?
This is a mutating tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, but the description omits return behavior, the meaning of duration_secs, account handling, and the precise effect of unpinning. The available description is too incomplete for reliable selection and invocation.
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 0%, so the description must add meaning, but it only repeats 'chat_jid' and ignores 'account' and 'duration_secs' entirely. The parameter names remain unexplained, especially the WhatsApp-specific chat_jid identifier.
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 says 'Change a chat's state' and lists archive/unarchive, pin/unpin, mute/unmute, which is generic rather than a specific 'Unpin this chat' statement. The '[Flattened action: unpin]' hints at the tool's role, but it does not clearly differentiate this tool from the sibling state-change tools.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like whatsapp_chat_pin, whatsapp_chat_archive, or whatsapp_chat_mute. The only usage note is 'Requires chat_jid,' which is already reflected in the schema's required field.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
