Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description usefully adds that completion is reversible ('can be reopened in Teamleader'), which softens the destructive framing, but it says nothing about permissions/access requirements or what an already-completed task returns.
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?
Three short fragments with the mutation marker front-loaded, so an agent gets the mode and action immediately. The 'Teamleader: tasks.complete' tag is auxiliary rather than essential but costs almost nothing.
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 one-parameter state-change tool with no output schema, the description covers what happens, the mutation mode, reversibility and the backend method. Only the preconditions (permissions, how to source the id) are absent, which is minor at this complexity.
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?
There is a single required parameter with 100% schema description coverage (UUID pattern plus 'The task id (a UUID)'), so the schema carries the full burden. The description adds no meaning beyond it, so the baseline of 3 is correct.
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 ('mark a task (to-do) as complete') and maps to the underlying API method (tasks.complete), so it is unambiguously distinct from create_task and list_tasks. It stops short of explicitly naming any sibling, which keeps it out of the top band.
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 'WRITE:' prefix implies this is the mutation path for task state and 'It can be reopened' hints at the counterpart action, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance versus update/delete, and no note on how to obtain the task_id (e.g., via list_tasks).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
