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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds no behavioral context of its own — nothing about resubmission semantics (despite idempotentHint=false), validation failures, or auth requirements.

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 with the verb, resource, and field enumeration — no filler. It is appropriately sized for the amount of information it chooses to convey.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be explained, and parameters are fully documented. However, for a non-idempotent submission tool with a nested payload, the absence of any when-to-use or repeat-submission guidance leaves a meaningful gap.

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%, but the nested 'survey' object only points to an external URL for its schema; the description enumerates the actual field names (environment, os_access, autonomy, tools, etc.), which is genuine added meaning the schema itself does not provide.

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 states a specific verb and resource ('Submit the LAT self-report survey') and enumerates the survey's content areas, so the agent knows exactly what this tool does. It does not explicitly contrast itself with lat_hello/lat_info/lat_status, but the distinct naming and purpose make confusion unlikely.

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 submit this survey, whether it is a one-time or repeatable action, or that lat_hello should be called first to obtain agent_id. The agent gets no routing or prerequisite guidance.

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