Create Safe Apply Plan

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'guarded' and 'unapproved by default,' but does not explain what 'guarded' entails, whether the tool has side effects, or what happens if the plan is not approved. Critical behavioral context is missing.

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 concise at one short sentence and front-loads the main action. However, it is overly minimal; additional sentences could improve clarity without excessive length. Balanced but not exemplary.

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 12 parameters, nested objects, no output schema, and 39 siblings, the description is grossly incomplete. It does not explain how to use the tool, what inputs are important, or what the output represents. Major gaps for effective 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?

The description adds no parameter-specific information. Schema description coverage is 58%, meaning 7 out of 12 parameters have descriptions in the schema, but the remaining 5 lack any explanation. The description fails to clarify these or provide guidance on parameter usage.

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 'Create guarded safe-apply plan; unapproved by default.' It clearly identifies the action (create) and resource (safe-apply plan), and adds a notable default behavior. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like dl_create_publish_from_saved_plan, leaving ambiguity.

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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. Given the large sibling set, this is a significant omission.

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