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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses that changes are audited and that `publish` propagates to every phone within seconds — an irreversible, fleet-wide side effect worth flagging. It says nothing about permissions, failure modes, or whether non-publish commands are local-only.

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 with no filler, and the high-impact `publish` detail is placed where it will be seen. It is efficient, though the brevity is partly why the parameter gaps remain.

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 an unannotated mutation tool that pushes to live devices, with no output schema and no parameter documentation, the description is thin. It should at minimum point to owner_describe for valid commands and explain what `app` and `args` expect.

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 coverage is 0% for three parameters, including a free-form nested `args` object and a free-form `command` string. The description only hints that `publish` is one valid command value; `app` and `args` are never explained, leaving the agent to guess their format.

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 verb and resource ('Run an owner command against the live app'), but 'owner command' is undefined and no example is given. It does not distinguish this from the sibling owner_describe, which presumably enumerates the available commands.

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 reach for this versus owner_describe or the other device tools, and no prerequisite such as discovering valid command names first. The only implied condition is the parenthetical hint that `publish` affects live devices.

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