create_flows_flow_id_publish

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'Publish Flow' gives no information about side effects, permissions needed, reversibility, or what happens to the flow after publishing. This is a significant gap 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?

The description is extremely short, but it is under-specified. It reads as a fragment rather than a complete sentence and does not add value beyond the tool name. It is not concise in a meaningful way.

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?

With two parameters, no output schema, no annotations, and no explanation of behavior or return values, the description is completely inadequate for an agent to understand the tool's context. It leaves the agent with no clues about execution requirements or outcomes.

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%, and the description does not mention flowId or wabaAccountId at all. The agent has no semantic guidance beyond the bare parameter names, which is insufficient.

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 'Publish Flow' clearly states the action (publish) and the resource (flow), which is specific enough to distinguish from sibling tools like create_flows or deprecate_flow. However, it lacks any detail about scope or context, so it doesn't fully clarify what publishing entails.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or scenarios where it should be preferred over other flow-related tools such as create_flows or patch_flows_flow_id_metadata.

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