Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose meaningful behavior: the method is POST, it is one-shot (not recurring), and delivery is delayed. It omits durability/restart survival, retry or failure behavior, auth requirements, and whether the callback is retried or deduplicated.
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 dense sentence with the action, method, target, and timing all front-loaded; no filler or redundancy.
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 no annotations, no output schema, an undocumented nested payload object, and 0% schema coverage, the description is too thin: it never says what the call returns (e.g., a job/handle id), whether the schedule survives restarts, or how the payload is delivered.
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%, so the description must compensate. It names callback_url and delay_sec (implying seconds) but adds no format, validation, or constraint details, and the nested payload object — the most opaque parameter — is never mentioned at all.
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?
States a specific action (queue a one-shot HTTP POST) against a specific target (agent-supplied callback_url after delay_sec), which is concrete and unambiguous. It does not differentiate itself from webhook_echo, the closest sibling, so it stops short of 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?
The phrase 'wake relay' and the one-shot delayed-POST semantics imply when an agent would use it (deferred self-wakeup), but there is no explicit when-to-use, no exclusions, and no routing against siblings like webhook_echo or provision_and_poll_otp.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
