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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full disclosure burden, yet it discloses nothing about effects, resource costs, turn timing, permissions, or side effects. The API endpoint note is not behavioral context.

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?

It is short, but brevity here reflects under-specification rather than efficiency. The single sentence spends its length on a name restatement and an endpoint pointer that add no usable information.

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?

With no annotations, no output schema, 0% parameter coverage, and an unspecified mutation-like action, the description omits nearly everything an agent needs to invoke it correctly. It is not complete on any dimension.

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% and the description never mentions either parameter. city_id (required) and idempotency_key are left completely unexplained, so an agent cannot know what city_id refers to or how idempotency behavior works.

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?

Restates the tool name ('Agent City Wars action launch_satellite') and adds only an API endpoint reference ('identical to POST /api/launch_satellite'), which conveys no meaning beyond the name itself. It never explains what launching a satellite does in game terms or how it differs from siblings like build or research.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool, prerequisites, costs, or alternatives among the many sibling actions. An agent has no basis to choose launch_satellite over build, research, or dispatch_wave.

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