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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behavioral traits: administrator-only access and that the suppression applies to future notices, not past ones. However, it does not mention reversibility, side effects, or the effect on existing notices, which are important for a mutation tool.

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. It gets straight to the point: administrator-only, suppression, future notices, external subject. Every word earns its place.

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 nested object, three required parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It omits parameter semantics, reversibility, expected response, and any preconditions beyond admin rights, leaving an agent under-informed about how to invoke it correctly.

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. It does not explain the meaning of 'id' (likely the external subject), the 'suppression.reason' field, or the role of 'idempotencyKey'. Parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description adds no explicit mapping.

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 clearly states the action (suppression), the target (future notices to an external subject), and an access constraint (administrator-only). It is specific and easily distinguished from sibling tools like prepare_notice or approve_notice, which deal with different phases of notices.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It only notes an administrator-only restriction, which is a permission constraint rather than guidance for tool selection among related notice/outreach tools.

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