execute_approved_transaction

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It says 'execute a transaction' but does not disclose side effects, irreversibility, idempotency, or whether it can be called multiple times. It also lacks details on failure modes or the need for valid approval credentials.

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 a single, concise sentence that conveys the core purpose without unnecessary words. It is appropriately sized for a tool with simple parameters.

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 the tool executes a transaction and has no output schema or annotations, the description is too sparse to be complete. It does not explain the approval workflow, how the request ID and token are obtained, or what happens upon execution. This is a significant gap for a mutating tool.

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 already documents both parameters (approvalRequestId and executionToken) with clear descriptions. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies due to high schema coverage.

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 tool's action ('Execute') and resource ('a transaction') with a condition ('after it has been approved'). This distinguishes it from other transaction tools like transfer_tokens or swap_currency, which are not approval-based.

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 phrase 'after it has been approved' implies the tool should be used only after an approval step, but it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or name alternative tools. There is clear context but no exclusions or alternatives.

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