agent_bootstrap

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It says the tool 'starts' onboarding and returns flow information, but it does not state whether this creates records, sends emails, requires prior setup, or has side effects. This is a significant gap for a mutating bootstrap 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?

The description is a single compact sentence and includes a useful parenthetical about the return value. It avoids padding, though the phrase 'bootstrap token flow info' is somewhat jargon-heavy and could be clearer.

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 mutating action with no annotations and no output schema, the description leaves out side effects, prerequisites, the return shape, and how this relates to the sibling onboarding/auth tools. An agent would have to guess several important details before invoking it.

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 explain company_name or contact_email beyond their names. It also does not clarify whether they are required, what formats are expected, or how they are used in the onboarding flow.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Start humanless company onboarding' and notes the return is 'bootstrap token flow info.' It is reasonably distinct from the billing, integration, and auth-related siblings, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from create_login_link or get_login_status.

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 like create_login_link or get_login_status, and no prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned. The intended usage context is only implied by the tool name and the word 'Start.'

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