Adicionar Comentário em Tarefa

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

Annotations indicate non-read-only and non-destructive behavior. The description adds that the comment appears as a new message in the timeline visible to all, which aligns with annotations. No contradictions. It provides useful context beyond 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 short and front-loaded with the main action. Headers for parameters improve readability. Minor redundancy with 'Parâmetros obrigatórios:' but overall efficient.

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 explains the action and visibility but lacks information about return values or potential errors. Given the simplicity (2 params, no output schema), it is adequate but could be more complete by mentioning what the tool returns.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning by explaining the effect (added to timeline) and reinforcing the use of ekyte_list_tasks for task_id. This goes beyond schema descriptions.

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 action ('Adiciona um comentário') and the resource ('em uma tarefa existente no Ekyte'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like ekyte_create_task and ekyte_complete_task by focusing on adding comments.

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 explains that the comment is added to the task timeline and visible to all with access. It also notes mandatory parameters and how to find task_id using ekyte_list_tasks. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, though the context makes it clear.

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