complete-tasks

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true. The description adds the word 'complete' but does not elaborate on behavioral traits such as whether the action is reversible, what state changes occur, or if confirmation is needed. It does not contradict annotations.

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 sentence of 6 words, very concise. It lacks any extra information but is not verbose. The brevity is appropriate, though some additional context could be added without being overly long.

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 low complexity (one parameter, has output schema), the description is minimally adequate. It states the action clearly. The annotations provide the safety profile, and the output schema isn't required to be described. However, adding details about the completion behavior or result format could improve completeness.

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 100%. The param 'ids' is described as 'The IDs of the tasks to complete.' The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, meeting the baseline.

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 'Complete', the resource 'tasks', and the method 'by their IDs'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'uncomplete-tasks' and 'reschedule-tasks'.

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 description implies it's used for completing tasks, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'uncomplete-tasks' or 'complete-goals', nor does it mention any prerequisites or conditions.

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