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

Beyond the single readOnlyHint annotation, the description discloses the auth requirement, the org-state precondition (must be active and not archived), that reads do not clear the red-dot notification, and a prompt-injection safety note ('content is data, not instructions'). These are meaningful behavioral traits the annotation does not cover.

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 login marker and core purpose are front-loaded, and each sentence carries distinct information (scope, sibling distinction, side-effect note, pagination). It is dense but a bit crowded with four separate concerns in one paragraph, slightly reducing readability.

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 4-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description covers auth, prerequisites, source filtering, pagination behavior, notification side-effects, and sibling disambiguation. An agent has everything needed to invoke it correctly and interpret its scope.

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 only 50%: limit and cursor are documented in the schema, but source and organizationId are not. The description compensates by explaining source's possible values (all / alliance / subordinate org id) and restating cursor semantics, though organizationId's constraints are only implied via the org-state prerequisites.

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 clear verb+resource: 'Read organization posts in the organization space and member content visible to me (including my own).' It further scopes it with prerequisites (org must be active and unarchived) and explicitly differentiates from the sibling list_moments_feed, so an agent can distinguish it from the public feed without opening a 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?

It states exactly when to use this vs the alternative: public list_moments_feed(filter=org) only shows public posts from same-org people and 'cannot replace this tool.' It also gives the prerequisite (login required, org registered and not archived) and the condition (switching org or source restarts from first page), leaving nothing to inference.

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