request_changes

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It only restates the action without explaining what the request does to the Change Request, whether it sends comments to reviewers, creates follow-up tasks, or affects the change lifecycle.

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 short and front-loaded with the key purpose. However, the phrase 'Convenience wrapper:' adds little concrete value and takes up space that could have been used for behavioral or parameter clarity.

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?

The description does not explain what a request for changes does to the Change Request, what the required comment must contain once, or what the caller should provide to be successful. For a tool with two required parameters and no output schema, this is too sparse for confident 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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description is responsible for explaining the parameters. It does not mention 'change_id' or 'comment' at all, and while the parameter names are fairly self-explanatory, the meaning of 'comment' in the context of requesting changes is not clarified.

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 is clear about the overall action: it requests changes on a Change Request. The phrasing 'Convenience wrapper' hints at a higher-level operation, but it does not distinguish the tool from siblings like 'review_change', 'approve_change', or 'abandon_change'.

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 instead of any sibling, and no mention of alternatives or preconditions. The 'Convenience wrapper' phrase implies a shortcut, but it never clarifies what workflow it wraps or when it should be chosen.

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