Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already declare idempotentHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the description repeating 'idempotent' adds essentially no new information. It omits what happens after a report is filed (whether the message is hidden, whether the other participant is notified, whether blocking is implied) and any throttling or duplicate-report behavior beyond the idempotency claim.
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 no filler, which is the right shape for this tool. Its brevity edges into under-specification rather than over-writing, but as a structural matter nothing is wasted.
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 five-parameter mutation tool with no documented parameters and no output schema, the definition is too thin. An agent cannot tell from the description what the two conversation identifiers are for, what fields are required beyond the schema, or what the call returns, so it lacks the context needed to invoke this confidently.
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 0% across five parameters, so the description must compensate and does not. Most critically it never distinguishes conversationToken from conversationId, two similarly named required strings, and it says nothing about the 'details' free-text field or the reason enum values.
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 names a specific verb and resource ('Create ... abuse report') and adds a scope constraint ('for a message from the other participant'), which separates it from general conversation tools like close_conversation or get_conversation. It does not explicitly contrast with block_conversation, another plausible sibling for handling abuse, so it stops short of a 5.
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?
Usage is only implied: an agent can infer this is for flagging an abusive message rather than muting or blocking a participant. There is no explicit guidance on when to choose report_message versus block_conversation, nor on prerequisites such as needing an existing conversation context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
