Write Sleep Review Packets

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false (write operation) and destructiveHint=false. The description confirms a write but does not disclose additional behaviors like idempotency, overwrite policy, or error conditions. No added value beyond annotations, leaving behavioral gaps.

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 concise sentence with no wasted words. However, it lacks structure (e.g., examples, parameter hints) that could improve usability without adding length.

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 tool has an output schema (not shown) and many siblings, but the description does not mention return values or provide enough context to distinguish its role. Given the number of sibling tools, the description is incomplete for reliable agent decision-making.

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 coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the two parameters ('all' and 'ids'). Without clarification on how selection works or how to use these parameters, the agent cannot correctly invoke the tool.

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 states 'Write selected sleep consolidation candidates to inbox/sleep-consolidation/', providing a clear verb and target resource. It differentiates from siblings like memory.sleep_plan by specifying the action (write) and destination (inbox). However, the term 'sleep consolidation candidates' is domain-specific and may require additional context.

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 offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as memory.consolidate. There is no mention of prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it fits into a workflow. This lack of usage context reduces clarity for an AI agent.

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