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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It communicates a meaningful sequencing constraint ('send_and_wait is allowed only after this'), but it does not describe side effects, reversibility, permissions, or what happens after acceptance.

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 description is two short sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded and the sequencing note is relevant and compact.

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?

The description is too minimal for a state-changing tool with no annotations and no output schema. It omits what 'token' means, whether acceptance can be undone, and what response or errors to 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 description coverage is only 50%, with 'handle' documented but 'token' left unexplained. The description adds no information about either parameter, failing to compensate for the schema gap.

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 uses a specific verb ('Accept') and a specific resource ('incoming connect request'), which clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like accept_invite and reject_connect. It also adds a key consequence: send_and_wait is allowed only after this operation.

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?

The description gives a clear usage context: use this to accept an incoming connect request, and it positions the tool as a prerequisite for send_and_wait. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like reject_connect.

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