publish_audit

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

No annotations provided. Description discloses a precondition and a specific error (409) but does not mention other behaviors like idempotency, side effects, or success response. Adequate but not comprehensive.

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?

Two concise sentences with no wasted words. Key information (action, precondition, error) is 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?

For a simple publish action with one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose, precondition, and a key error. Missing success response, but acceptable.

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 covers 100% of parameter description. Description adds minimal value by implying the 'uniqueId' is the audit identifier, but no new semantics beyond schema.

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 verb 'publish' and resource 'audit', specifying it marks as published/completed. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_audit and update_audit by indicating a completion action.

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?

Explicitly mentions precondition (audit must be fully filled in) and error response (HTTP 409 if incomplete), guiding when to use. Could elaborate on when not to use, but sufficiently clear.

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