Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint, and the description adds the REST method and path (POST /api/planner/done/task/{id}). It does not disclose side effects like whether the action is reversible or what happens if the task is already complete, but it doesn't contradict annotations.
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 concise sentences: one for the action and one for the REST endpoint. No filler or repetition of schema details.
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 simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description provides sufficient context: what the tool does and the underlying API call. The destructive annotation covers safety, making this 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 coverage is 100%, with the 'id' parameter described as 'The task id to mark complete.' The description adds the URL template, which implies id is a path parameter, but this is marginal 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?
The description clearly states the action ('Mark a task as done') and the resource ('in the planner'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like reclaim_mark_task_incomplete. The REST endpoint provides additional specificity.
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 implies the proper use case: marking a task complete. It doesn't explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions (e.g., use reclaim_mark_task_incomplete to undo), but the context is clear enough for a simple tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
