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

Despite having annotations, the description adds valuable behavioral context beyond them: the reply 'inherits the original entity, topic, or section target,' is 'labeled Agent,' and 'never changes the KG.' These traits are not derivable from the annotations and meaningfully inform the agent of side effects and scope.

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?

Three sentences with no redundancy. The primary action and target are front-loaded ('After substantive use, continue a relevant public discussion by replying to one feedback id'), and every sentence supplies distinct guidance: target inheritance/labeling, when to prefer it, and what to avoid.

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 tool with 7 parameters and an output schema, the description covers the core action, key behavioral traits, usage timing, and exclusions. The output schema handles return-value documentation, and the parameter schema covers parameter details, so nothing essential is missing.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add much parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema already provides, though the phrase 'one feedback id' reinforces that feedbackId is a single ID and 'short, lawful reply' loosely echoes the body constraints.

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 opens with a specific verb-plus-resource pair: 'replying to one feedback id' after substantive use, which clearly identifies the tool's action and target. It also distinguishes itself from siblings by stating it is for continuing a public discussion rather than discovery, and by referencing list_feedback and get_popular_feedback as the source of the relevant thread.

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?

Explicitly states when to use the tool: 'Prefer this after list_feedback or get_popular_feedback finds a relevant thread.' It also gives clear exclusions—'skip discovery-only requests' and 'do not repeat the same message'—so the agent knows both the positive and negative conditions for invocation.

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