v0.1.1Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only states purpose without disclosing behavioral traits like error handling, rate limits, or idempotency. Minimal behavioral info beyond being a read operation.
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 sentence, no unnecessary words. Front-loaded with action and resource, efficient and to the point.
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?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, description adequately covers purpose and key output (per-platform status). Could specify 'full details' more explicitly, but generally sufficient.
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 coverage is 100% with a clear parameter description. Description adds no further parameter semantics beyond what schema provides, meeting baseline expectation.
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 it retrieves full details of a single post by ID, with specific mention of per-platform publish status. Distinguishes from sibling tools like list_scheduled_posts (list) and update_post (modify).
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?
Implies use when needing full details of a specific post, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use compared to alternatives. Context is clear but lacks exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
