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

With no annotations present, the description carries the transparency burden. It does disclose that the prompt is discarded, which is useful, but it leaves unclear what the three-step template actually contains and whether the provided parameters influence it.

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 convey the core idea with no filler. The primary behavior is front-loaded and the dismissive note is efficiently brief.

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 seven varied parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too thin. An agent cannot tell what a three-step thinking template looks like, which parameters matter, or why this tool exists alongside many similar-looking utilities.

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?

The input schema already documents each parameter, so schema coverage is effectively high. The description adds nothing about how parameters relate to the returned template, and 'Prompt discarded' suggests they may be irrelevant, which is ambiguous.

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 names a concrete action and output: it returns a three-step thinking template. It is not a tautology, though it does not explain how this tool compares to the many sibling context/validation 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 about when to use think-steps versus any of its siblings. The only hint, 'Prompt discarded,' implies the input prompt is not processed, but no alternative or precondition is given.

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