A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden and does well by disclosing that the action is wallet-signed, requires the reporter to have 3 approved posts, and that three independent reports auto-hide the post. It does not describe duplicate-report handling, error behavior, or the response.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the action and followed by key prerequisites and effect. Every sentence earns its place with no repetition or filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a report tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description provides the essential prerequisites and the auto-hide threshold. It leaves some gaps around return values, errors, and what qualifies as an 'approved post,' but it is largely complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the payload fields are already documented in the schema. The description adds 'wallet-signed,' which relates to the signature field, but otherwise does not add meaning beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a specific verb and resource: report a thread or reply as abusive. It clearly distinguishes this moderation action from sibling tools like alley_post, alley_get_thread, and alley_list_threads.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It states the core usage condition (reporting abusive content) and prerequisites: wallet-signed and needs 3 approved posts. It does not name explicit alternatives or when-not-to-use cases, but the context is clear.

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