Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only "POST /tasks/", which restates the obvious mutation, and says nothing about validation failures, required authorization, or what happens to duplicate titles.
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 very short sentences with no filler, and the action is front-loaded via the "WRITE:" marker. However, the brevity reads as under-specification rather than disciplined conciseness, leaving no room for the guidance an agent needs.
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 five-parameter mutation tool with no output schema, the description says nothing about the returned record, whether the required title is the only mandatory field, or error behavior. Annotations cover the write semantics, but the operational context is incomplete.
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 60% — title and description lack any schema descriptions, and the description text supplies no parameter meaning at all. An agent gets no help understanding which fields matter, whether tags/rating are optional, or format expectations beyond the schema patterns.
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 and resource ("create a task") plus the underlying endpoint, so the action is unambiguous. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from the many sibling create_* tools, but the name already carries the resource distinction.
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?
No guidance on when to use this versus alternatives such as cogmento_update_record_field or cogmento_complete_task, and no prerequisites or preconditions mentioned. The "WRITE:" prefix is the only usage signal, and that is already implied by the name and annotations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
