complete-tasks

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

The description adds little beyond the name. It does not disclose side effects (e.g., task status changes) or any cautionary notes. The destructiveHint annotation already flags destructive behavior, but the description itself provides no additional behavioral context.

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, clear sentence with no extraneous words. It is front-loaded and effective.

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's simplicity, one parameter, and existing output schema and annotations, the description adequately conveys the purpose. It could mention the effect on task state, but it is essentially complete for this straightforward operation.

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 schema fully describes the 'ids' parameter (array of strings, required, minItems 1). The description does not add further parameter details, but with 100% schema coverage, the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 identifies the action ('Complete'), the resource ('tasks'), and the scope ('by their IDs'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like find-tasks, update-tasks, and uncomplete-tasks by specifying a concrete 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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or relationships to sibling operations like uncomplete-tasks or update-tasks.

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