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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=false, yet the description frames this purely as a "Read." An agent cannot tell whether calling this consumes, advances, or otherwise mutates the intent state, nor whether the "resumable" state changes after retrieval. With annotations present the bar is lower, but the description resolves none of this tension.

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 short sentences with the functional statement front-loaded; the second is only a support link, which is useful rather than filler. No redundancy in the body text.

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?

Placeholder.

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%: neither projectId nor intentId is documented in the schema, and the description adds nothing about their meaning, scope, or format. It does not compensate for the coverage gap, leaving two required identifiers opaque.

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?

States a specific verb ("Read") and enumerates the resource domain it returns: "resumable payment, approval, render, and verification state." No sibling tool competes with this purpose, and an agent can tell it is a state-retrieval call, though the core concept "action intent" is never defined.

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?

"after a web handoff" implies the triggering context, which is more than nothing. But there is no explicit when-to-use versus alternatives, no prerequisite that a projectId/intentId must already exist, and no statement about when this should be skipped.

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