A3.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true, and the description adds real behavioral context on top: a drifted plan fails and must be re-prepared, and uncertain sends are not replayed (a non-retry safety semantic an agent must know before calling a destructive confirm). It could go further on what state is mutated or whether the operation is reversible.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The operative constraints (confirm exact plan, drift requires re-prepare, no replay on uncertainty) are front-loaded in the first two clauses, before the routing list. The fifteen-tool enumeration is long but serves a genuine routing function rather than padding.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Output schema exists, so return values need not be described, and the description covers the failure/retry semantics relevant to a destructive operation. The remaining gap is the provenance and scope of draft_id, which an agent needs to supply a valid call.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 33% — customer_id is documented in the schema, but draft_id (the required, semantically critical handle for the plan being confirmed) and connection_context are undocumented in both schema and description. 'Exact typed management plan' hints that draft_id names a prepared draft, but never says where it comes from or its lifetime.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ('confirm') and resource ('an exact typed management plan'), and explicitly labels itself a compatibility entrypoint, which distinguishes it from the fifteen named *_confirm siblings it lists. 'Exact typed' is slightly jargon-heavy but the action is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives concrete routing guidance: 'prefer the matching named tool' followed by an explicit enumeration of the preferred alternatives, plus the precondition 'state drift requires prepare again.' It never states the positive case in which this generic entrypoint should be chosen (presumably only when no named tool matches), which keeps it below a 5.

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