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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden of behavioral disclosure. States 'Query' implying read-only access but provides no details on polling strategy, possible status values, error conditions, or whether compilation is async/sync.

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?

Single dense sentence with zero waste. 'returned after upload' earns its place by establishing workflow sequence; 'AAB' precisely scopes the compilation type. Efficiently front-loaded.

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?

Adequate for a status query tool with simple schema, but gaps remain due to missing output schema and annotations. Lacks description of return values, status enumerations, or polling intervals which would aid agent decision-making.

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?

Despite 100% schema coverage (baseline 3), description adds valuable workflow semantics by specifying that pkg_ids are 'returned after upload', clarifying the data lineage and relationship to the upload_app_file sibling tool.

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?

Clear verb 'Query' with specific resource 'AAB compilation status' and scope 'for package IDs returned after upload'. Distinguishes from general app info queries via the specific compilation focus and upload workflow reference.

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?

Provides implied usage context indicating this follows an upload operation ('returned after upload'), establishing temporal workflow positioning. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' guidance or named alternatives.

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