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

Annotations already disclose that this is not read-only, is destructive, and is not idempotent. The description adds useful context that human approval is required and that publishing makes the comment visible, but it does not explain reversibility or side effects beyond that.

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 description is compact, front-loaded with the action, and contains no filler. Every clause contributes either the operation, the target, the effect, or the approval prerequisite.

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?

For a two-parameter mutation with annotations covering safety hints and no output schema, the description gives sufficient operational context: target identifiers, visibility effect, and human-approval requirement. It could be slightly more complete about behavior if no identifier is provided, but no major gap remains.

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 carry parameter meaning. It names both identifiers and indicates they are alternative ways to identify the comment (`id` or `uuid`), which is meaningful beyond the bare schema, though it does not clarify mutual exclusivity or requirements when neither is supplied.

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 states a specific verb and resource: publish/approve an article comment so it appears on the site. It clearly distinguishes article comments from articles/pages, though it does not explicitly differentiate from nearby comment actions such as hide_comment or reply_comment.

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?

It gives implied usage by saying the action makes the comment visible and notes human approval is required. However, it does not explicitly say when to use this versus hide_comment, reply_comment, or other comment-management siblings.

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