publish_job_run

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of disclosing side effects and behavioral traits. It states that the tool 'Returns the publish result' and mentions the direct adapter call, but it does not disclose whether this operation is mutating, whether it requires authentication, what happens to the job state, or potential errors. For a tool that 'executes' an action, this is a significant gap.

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 two concise sentences. Both provide distinct, useful information: the action/mechanism and the return value. There is no redundancy or filler, making it appropriately sized for a tool with a single parameter.

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?

The tool is simple (one parameter, no output schema), but the description lacks context about the publish job lifecycle. It does not explain what a 'publish job' is, how this tool fits with siblings like publish_job_create or publish_job_verify, or what 'publish result' entails. The minimal information leaves the agent guessing about the tool's role and expected usage flow.

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?

The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not explain the meaning or format of 'jobId'. The tool description only mentions 'one publish job' but never ties it to the parameter. Since the schema does not document the parameter and the description makes no attempt to clarify it, the agent has no guidance beyond the parameter name.

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 ('Execute one publish job') and the resource ('publish job'), distinguishing it from siblings like publish_job_create, publish_job_get, and publish_job_verify. The phrase 'calling the platform adapter directly' adds specificity about how it executes.

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 usage context through the tool name and the phrase 'calling the platform adapter directly,' but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions. There is no direct comparison with sibling tools.

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