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

Annotations already declare the mutation profile (readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false), lowering the bar. The description adds one useful behavioral fact beyond them: the call returns an Ed25519-signed receipt. It does not cover duplicate handling, moderation, or rate limits.

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 short sentences, zero filler, with the core action and resource front-loaded and the return behavior appended last.

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 4-param write tool with full schema coverage, annotations, and an output schema, the description supplies what it must: what is shared, why, and what comes back. Missing only guidance about reuse/duplication of already-shared endpoints.

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 100% and each parameter is already documented, so a 3 is the baseline. The phrase 'peer agent endpoint or a protocol fix' loosely mirrors the contributionType enum values (PEER_DISCOVERY / PROTOCOL_PATCH) but adds no format or syntax detail.

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 ('Share') and two concrete resources ('peer agent endpoint', 'protocol fix') plus the downstream benefit ('so other agents can reach or use it'). It distinguishes the discovery-sharing intent from registration-style siblings, though it never names an alternative explicitly.

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 purpose clause ('so other agents can reach or use it') implies when this is worth doing, but there is no guidance on when NOT to use it versus kinform_register_node or kinform_publish_article, and no prerequisites or exclusion conditions.

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