Complete Reminder

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

No annotations provided. Description only states 'Requires confirmation', implying a side effect but lacks details on what happens upon completion (e.g., irreversibility, notifications, or side effects).

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?

Description is extremely concise (two sentences), which is good for clarity. However, it sacrifices informativeness; a slightly longer description could add value without verbosity.

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?

Given three parameters and no output schema, the description is inadequate. It does not cover return values, error conditions, or behavioral nuances, leaving significant gaps for the agent.

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 describes three parameters (id, confirm, reason) but description adds no meaning beyond the schema. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to explain the purpose or usage of any parameter.

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?

Description clearly states the verb 'Complete' and the resource 'reminder', distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'reminders_create' and 'reminders_list'. However, it could be more specific, e.g., 'Mark an existing reminder as done'.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The phrase 'Requires confirmation' hints at the need for the confirm parameter but does not provide contextual guidelines.

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