Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds only the shape of the answer (connected flag plus @username), which is modest added value on top of the annotations.
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 short sentence with no filler, and the key fact (connection state) is front-loaded. It is terse to the point of being slightly clipped, but 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?
With no output schema, the description carries the burden of describing the return, and it does state the two things returned (connected status and @username). Combined with annotations that cover safety and idempotency, an agent has enough to call it correctly, though the exact field names or failure behavior are unstated.
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?
There is a single parameter (project_id) and schema description coverage is 100%, with the schema even pointing at dosai_list_projects as the source. The description adds nothing about the parameter, so the baseline 3 applies.
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 resource (Telegram bot) and specifies exactly what is reported: connection state plus the bot's @username. That distinguishes it from the parallel dosai_get_whatsapp_status and from dosai_connect_telegram_bot, though it is phrased as a noun clause rather than an action verb.
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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of the obvious alternative dosai_connect_telegram_bot for the case where the bot is not connected. The agent must infer that this is a pre-flight connectivity check.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
