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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, open-world, non-destructive behavior. The description adds substantial context beyond them: authentication/role requirements, data minimization (summaries only, no raw answers), keyword behavior (only marks hits), and the 200-item page cap with nextCursor pagination.

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?

Dense but front-loaded: auth requirement first, then return contents and omissions, then pagination constraints, then the bulk-review alternative. There is slight redundancy in repeating the no-raw-answers/backend point, but every clause carries operational information.

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?

Covers scope, output nature, auth constraints, pagination cap, and the related bulk-review tool; with no output schema, the description supplies enough about the returned summary fields. Remaining filters like pendingOnly are documented in the schema, so the definition is complete enough to call safely.

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 100%, and the description largely restates what the schema already documents: keyword hit-marking, max 200, and nextCursor pagination. It adds no extra syntax or semantics for cursor, limit, pendingOnly, or organizationId beyond the schema.

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?

Title and description clearly identify the resource: organization membership applications and their answer summaries. The description lists the summary components (题数/字数/缺项/关键词命中), states that raw answer text is not returned, and distinguishes the tool from full-text access and from bulk_review_organization_applications.

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?

States the prerequisite (login required, OWNER/ADMIN), gives a clear exclusion (full answer text is in the App/org backend, not here), and names the bulk-review alternative with its preflight-then-confirm workflow. It does not explicitly enumerate when to choose this over every sibling, 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.
