D1.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only the vague notion of a "preview", without saying what is previewed (counts of dependent objects? blocking links?), whether it is scoped to the caller's permissions, or how large the response can be. It contributes minimal context beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It is short, but short due to under-specification rather than efficiency, and it ends in a dangling colon that reads as an unfinished sentence. There is no front-loaded statement of what the call returns.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a one-parameter read with no output schema, an agent still needs to know what a "cascade preview" returns and what the id refers to. Annotations cover the read-only safety profile, but the description leaves the core semantics unknown, so the definition is not call-ready.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There is one required string parameter, `id`, with 0% schema description coverage, so the description must explain it. It does not: nothing says whether `id` is a comment id, a content-type id, or a model identifier for the cascade computation. The parameter's meaning has to be inferred entirely from the tool name.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description is a two-word fragment, "Cascade preview:", that only gestures at returning a preview of cascade effects for a comment object. It never states the verb or the resource, and the trailing colon suggests the sentence was truncated. The name and title carry nearly all of the meaning, which is the definition of tautology-level clarity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to call this versus siblings such as ciso_assistant_api_comments_retrieve, comments_object_retrieve, or comments_destroy. An agent gets no signal that this is a pre-deletion impact check rather than a normal read, and no exclusions or prerequisites are stated.

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