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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that explicit approval metadata and a matching idempotency key are required, which is useful. Yet it does not describe what changes on publish, whether the action is reversible, or any version-precondition behavior beyond the schema field names.

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?

The description is a single sentence with no filler. Every phrase earns its place: 'already-previewed', 'explicit approval metadata', and 'matching idempotency key' all communicate necessary constraints. It is appropriately sized for the tool's purpose.

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?

This is a complex operation with six parameters, nested objects, destructive semantics, and no output schema, yet the description gives almost no workflow context. It does not explain how to obtain the preview_hash, what the binding fields mean, what happens on success, or what prerequisites beyond 'already-previewed' exist. The description is not sufficient for reliable invocation.

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, but it only vaguely references 'approval metadata' and 'matching idempotency key'. The nested binding object, draft_id, expected_draft_version, and resource fields receive no explanatory context, leaving an agent to guess their meaning and relationships.

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 specific action ('Bind an already-previewed interview-plan publish') and identifies the resource. The phrase 'already-previewed' distinguishes it from the preview sibling, and the title 'Confirm and publish an interview plan' reinforces the operation. It loses a point because 'bind' is domain jargon and the description does not explicitly say the plan will be published.

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 implies this tool is used after a preview step by saying 'already-previewed', and it hints that an idempotency key must match. However, it does not explicitly name the preview tool as the prerequisite, nor does it state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives. The usage guidance is inferred rather than explicit.

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