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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It adds one meaningful disclosure, "No authentication is required," which is useful context. However, it does not mention write side effects, persistence, or what happens after creation, so the disclosure is only partial.

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 two short sentences with no filler. The main purpose is front-loaded, and the auth note is a distinct, valuable addition.

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 simple 3-parameter creation tool, the description conveys purpose and authentication adequately, but it leaves parameter semantics and usage context underspecified. Since there is no output schema or annotations, a bit more behavioral and parameter detail would make it complete.

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 only 33%, and the description does not elaborate on the title or content parameters. Only author has a schema description; the required parameters remain semantically opaque, and the description does not compensate for that gap.

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?

"Open a new forum topic" states a clear action and resource, even though "open" is slightly less explicit than "create." It identifies that the tool creates a new topic, which distinguishes it from reply_to_topic and list_topics, though it does not explicitly name those siblings.

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?

The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like reply_to_topic or edit_page. It does not mention any context, prerequisites, or exclusions that would help an agent choose it correctly.

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

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that every save is kept as a revision, that edits are open to anyone, and that base_revision enables optimistic concurrency. It doesn't mention whether replacement is destructive to prior revisions, but the revision disclosure largely covers 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?

Three sentences, each carrying distinct information: the operation, the access/revision model, and the concurrency control. No filler or repetition of schema field names.

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 mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the key behavioral aspects: who can edit, revision retention, and concurrency failure. It doesn't describe the return value or error cases, but the core calling context is adequately covered.

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 only 17%, so the description must compensate. It explains base_revision's role and the author default is in the schema, but it doesn't explain slug, title, content, or summary semantics beyond their names. The description adds some value for base_revision but leaves the other parameters to inference.

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 and resource ('Create or replace a wiki page') and immediately distinguishes itself from siblings like get_page and get_page_history. It also clarifies the create-vs-replace duality, which is the core semantic of this tool.

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?

The description states that anyone can edit and that base_revision can be used to fail instead of overwriting a concurrent edit, which gives clear guidance on when to use this tool and how to handle concurrency. It doesn't explicitly name alternatives like create_topic or reply_to_topic, but the wiki-page scope is clear enough to route an agent.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It clearly states the output format (Markdown) and that the revision number is included, which is useful. However, it does not disclose whether the page must exist, what happens for missing pages, or whether the revision number is the latest revision.

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 a single sentence that front-loads the core action and output format, then adds the revision number detail. Every word earns its place, and there is no redundancy or filler.

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 simple read tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential purpose and output format. However, it lacks details about error behavior, slug format, and how the revision number is presented, which an agent might need for robust invocation.

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 compensate for the undocumented 'slug' parameter. The description implies the slug identifies the wiki page, but it does not explain the expected format (e.g., URL-encoded, human-readable, path segments). This is a minimal but acceptable level of compensation for a single obvious parameter.

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 ('Read'), a specific resource ('one wiki page'), and the output format ('as Markdown'), and it distinguishes itself from siblings like get_topic and get_page_history. It also adds the current revision number detail, which is not obvious from the name alone.

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?

The description implies usage for reading a single page's Markdown content, which is clear enough for an agent to select it over list_pages or get_topic. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer get_page_history or get_topic, nor does it mention any exclusions or alternatives.

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

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral disclosure burden. It does disclose the core read-only behavior and sort order, but it omits other useful behavioral context such as pagination, whether revision contents are included, or authorization expectations.

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 appropriately brief and front-loaded, stating the primary action immediately. It earns its place without fluff, though it is slightly under-specified in other dimensions.

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 such a simple tool, the description is adequate at a minimum level, but it lacks important context because there is no output schema covering return values. It never mentions what fields a revision contains, how many are returned, or whether pagination is supported, which an agent may need to know.

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?

There is one required parameter, slug, and the schema has 0% description coverage. The phrase 'of a wiki page' implicitly connects the slug to the target page, but the description does not explain the slug format, where to source it, or any constraints, so the compensation is minimal.

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 clearly states the specific action and resource: list revisions of a wiki page, ordered newest first. It distinguishes itself from a direct page fetch by focusing on revisions, but it does not explicitly name or differentiate against siblings like get_page or recent_changes.

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?

The intended usage is implied: use this when you need a page's revision history. However, it provides no explicit guidance about when not to use it, nor does it mention alternatives such as recent_changes for global change feeds or get_page for the current version.

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

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It clearly indicates a read-only operation and that replies are included, but it does not mention authentication, pagination, ordering, or error behavior. This is acceptable for a simple read tool but not richly transparent.

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 one short sentence with no filler or redundant information. The core action and scope are front-loaded, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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 low-complexity tool with one required parameter and no output schema, the description is largely sufficient: it states what is read and that replies are included. It does not cover optional behaviors like sorting or error handling, but those are not critical for a basic get operation.

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 schema has 0% description coverage for its single parameter, and the description does not explicitly explain topic_id or its format. The parameter name is self-evident, and the description indirectly links it to a forum topic, but the description does not compensate for the complete lack of schema-level parameter documentation.

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 uses a specific verb ('Read') and a specific resource ('one forum topic and all of its replies'), making the tool's function immediately clear. It also distinguishes itself from list_topics by emphasizing a single topic and from get_page by naming the resource as a forum topic.

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?

The description provides clear context: use this tool when you need the content of one specific forum topic including its replies. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the singular framing makes the intended use obvious relative to siblings like list_topics.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'List' implies a read-only operation and the filter is described, but there is no mention of pagination, ordering, result limits, or whether the substring match is case-sensitive. Core behavior is clear, but edge behavior is undisclosed.

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?

A single sentence with no filler. The core action, resource, and optional filter are front-loaded and every word earns its place.

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 simple list operation with one optional parameter, the description is minimally sufficient, but the absence of any output schema or behavioral details such as pagination and ordering leaves gaps. An agent knows what to call but not fully what to expect in return.

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 only parameter 'query' has no schema description. The description compensates by explaining that query is a title substring filter and marks it as optional, which is meaningful semantic guidance.

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 and resource ('List wiki pages') and adds the optional title-substring filter. It is clear, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings like search or list_topics.

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 is given for when to use this tool instead of search, get_page, or list_topics. There are no exclusions or alternative routing conditions, so an agent must infer usage context.

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

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden. It states the operation and sorting options but does not disclose default behavior (e.g., default sort 'active' from schema) or any pagination/limit defaults. It is not misleading but lacks depth on side effects or output structure.

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?

One concise sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource, and no filler. Every word earns its place.

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 no annotations and no output schema, the description is minimal. It omits return format, pagination behavior, or any default limit. Given the agent needs to call it correctly, this is incomplete for a list operation with optional parameters.

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 compensate. It partially explains 'sort' by mentioning 'recent activity or creation time' (matching the enum), but does not explain 'limit' or its constraints. The schema provides constraints, but the description adds limited additional meaning beyond the enum mapping.

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 uses a specific verb 'List' and clear resource 'forum topics', and distinguishes by sorting criteria. It is unambiguous and separable from siblings like get_topic (single topic) and create_topic (creation).

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?

The description implies usage for listing multiple topics but does not explicitly state when to choose this over alternatives like get_topic or search. No when-not-to-use guidance or exclusions are provided; the context is clear but not fully explicit.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It clearly identifies the operation as a read and discloses the ordering, but it does not mention pagination, default limits, response item shape, or any rate-limit considerations. It is adequately transparent for a simple read feed but not richly so.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence that conveys the resource, the scope, and the ordering with zero wasted words. It is compact and immediately understandable.

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 simple read tool, the core selection information is present: what it reads and in what order. However, with no output schema and no annotations, the agent is left without details about returned item structure, default limit behavior, or pagination. It is minimally complete but has clear gaps.

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 schema has one optional 'limit' parameter with 0% description coverage, so the description needed to compensate by explaining its effect. The description does not mention limit at all. The parameter name and min/max constraints are somewhat self-explanatory, but the tool description adds no semantic value for this parameter.

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 a precise resource ('combined stream of page edits, new topics, and replies'), plus the ordering ('newest first'). This clearly differentiates it from siblings like list_pages or get_page_history, which target individual resource types or pages.

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?

The description implies when to use it: for a cross-resource activity feed rather than for a specific page, topic, or history lookup. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, so the usage guidance is left to inference.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does state that no authentication is required, which is useful, but it omits other important behavioral details for a mutation tool: whether the reply is publicly visible, whether it is permanent, side effects on the topic, or error behavior. This is a significant gap.

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 two short sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and a key prerequisite. Every word earns its place; there is no fluff or redundancy.

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?

This is a write operation with no annotations, no output schema, and a low-coverage input schema. The description is far too sparse to be complete: it doesn't describe parameters, return values, side effects, or when to use alternatives. An agent would need to guess critical details.

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 only 25% (only 'author' has a description). The tool description does not explain 'topic_id', 'content', or 'parent_id' beyond the generic 'reply to a forum topic', failing to compensate for the low schema coverage and leaving agents to infer key parameter meanings.

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 uses the specific verb 'reply' with the resource 'forum topic', making the action clear. It doesn't explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like create_topic, but the verb 'reply' implies a distinct operation.

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?

Usage is implied by the phrase 'Reply to a forum topic', and the note 'No authentication is required' provides a prerequisite. However, there is no explicit guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_topic or edit_page, nor any exclusions.

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

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

No annotations exist, so the description must carry the behavioral burden. It reveals the search scope (pages, topics, replies) and the query concept, but does not disclose matching behavior, result shape, or any side effects. For a read-only search action this is acceptable but still leaves some traits undisclosed.

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?

One sentence, front-loaded with the verb and scope, no filler. Maximally efficient for the information conveyed.

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 single-parameter search tool, the description covers the action, the target resources, and the input semantics. The lack of output/result details is a minor gap given the tool's simplicity and the absence of an output schema.

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 schema only defines 'query' as a string with length limits; the description adds that it is a 'term' searched across specific content typeshi, going beyond the bare schema despite the 0% schema coverage.

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 uses a specific verb ('search') and names the exact resources searched ('wiki pages, forum topics, and replies'), making the tool's purpose immediately clear. It also inherently distinguishes itself from sibling read/list tools like get_page or recent_changes.

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?

The description clearly implies this is the tool for content search across three resource types, but it provides no explicit guidance on when to choose it over siblings (e.g., list_pages) or any exclusions. Context is sufficient but not explicit.

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