Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the behavioral burden. It usefully discloses that no code is executed and that payment is determined by a fixed rubric independent of the review verdict. However, it does not disclose idempotency behavior, whether the submission is final, or what side effects occur beyond payment.
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 sentences with no filler, and the most important distinction ('without executing code') is front-loaded. It is concise and easy to parse, though it sacrifices some necessary detail for brevity.
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 tool with a required nested object, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is not complete enough to guide correct invocation. Key behavioral and parameter semantics around idempotency, versioning, and verdict meaning are missing.
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%, so the description must compensate for the undocumented parameters. It mentions evidence and artifact, but it does not explain idempotencyKey, expectedVersion, verdict, evidenceIds, fixtureResult, or originalAttribution, leaving the nested submission object largely mysterious.
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 states a clear action: submit evidence and an artifact without executing code, which identifies the tool's core purpose. It does not explicitly mention 'task' or differentiate itself from the sibling submit_evidence, so it stops short of full clarity.
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 description gives context ('without executing code', 'payment depends on the fixed rubric') but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like submit_evidence or close_task. No when-to-use or when-not-to-use conditions are stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
