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

With no annotations, the description carries the load and does well: it discloses the read semantics via the GET endpoint and describes the return shape (old and new versions in full, per-field diff, with hooks_changed and skill_md_changed reported separately). It omits auth/permission needs and rate limits, which keeps it below a 5.

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 dense sentences, front-loaded with the resource and endpoint, with no filler. The terse arrow/underscore notation is efficient but slightly cryptic for a first-time reader.

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?

Given no output schema and no annotations, the description does a solid job covering return structure and how to interpret the diff fields. Remaining gaps are permission requirements and the slight mismatch between the endpoint's {id} and the input fix_id, which is only loosely reconciled.

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 0% with one parameter, so the description must compensate; it does so by explaining fix_id=0 means all pending cases. It doesn't explicitly define nonzero fix_id values, but the single-param surface and the clear zero-case semantics make the meaning derivable.

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 the specific resource (a court case for a new cube version or fix) and pairs it with the concrete endpoint GET /court/case/{id}, so it is unambiguously a read of case records. It does not explicitly contrast with the sibling court_removal_request, keeping it from 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?

"fix_id=0 -> all pending cases" gives a useful condition for the all-cases mode, and "Judge from both" tells the agent how to consume the output. However, it never states when to call this versus court_removal_request or the cube_* tools, so the usage guidance is implied rather than explicit.

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