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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that results are joined with the received fruit and created lots, which hints at response enrichment, but says nothing about pagination (offset/next_offset), limits, or default state filtering — behavior the agent must infer from the schema.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence stating the resource and payload, followed by the endpoint path — no filler. The endpoint URL is mildly redundant but useful for API-level traceability.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries some of the burden of describing what comes back; it gestures at this ('with the fruit received and the lots created') but gives no pagination or shape detail. Against 13 well-documented params and read-only annotations, it is minimally adequate rather than complete.

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 each of the 13 parameters (state, sort, limit, offset, date filters, reference_number, winery_id) is documented inline. The description adds no additional parameter meaning, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

Names a specific resource (fruit receiving / harvest intake actions) and adds what the payload contains (the fruit received and the lots created), which goes beyond a restatement of the title. It does not, however, explicitly differentiate itself from the many sibling action-listing tools such as innovint_list_actions or innovint_list_transfer_actions.

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?

There is no statement of when to use this tool versus the generic innovint_list_actions or the other per-type action lists. The narrower scope is only inferable from the name, and no prerequisites, exclusions, or follow-up patterns are given.

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