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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden and does add real context: it is 'fast', it enumerates what is returned (products, feed, platforms, wallet, settings, workspace directory), and it declares that every count is scoped to the CURRENT workspace. It stops short of stating read-only behavior, auth/permission requirements, or error behavior.

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 tight sentences, front-loaded with the returned content and followed by the scoping caveat and sibling redirect. No filler or restated name/title.

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?

No output schema exists, and the description compensates by enumerating the returned sections plus the workspace directory. No annotations exist either, but the read-only nature is strongly implied by 'status'/'snapshot' and the remaining safety details are minor for a read tool.

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 100% so baseline is 3, but the description adds genuine cross-parameter meaning: it explains that the workspace directory (with ids) returned by this same tool is what should be supplied as workspace_id, tying the parameter to a concrete data source rather than leaving it abstract.

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+resource (a 'snapshot' of workspace products, feed, platforms, wallet, settings) and explicitly distinguishes scope from the sibling autowhisper_products_summary. An agent can tell what this does and what it is not without reading any schema.

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?

Gives the primary use case (fast CMO/account snapshot for the current workspace) and routes to autowhisper_products_summary for account-wide product counts. It also implies the tool doubles as the source of other workspace ids, but does not state an explicit when-not-to-use beyond the one sibling call-out.

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