Api policies merge create

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds only the N-to-1 merge semantics, without explaining what happens to the source controls, whether the operation is reversible, or what permissions are needed. The trailing incomplete 'See' further weakens behavioral disclosure.

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 core sentence is appropriately short, but the dangling 'See' is an incomplete fragment that adds noise rather than information. The description is not structurally complete enough to be considered concise and well-formed.

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?

This is a mutating merge tool with no output schema, so the description carries substantial explanatory burden. One sentence plus a broken 'See' does not explain the merge behavior, the source/target relationship, or the expected result. It is too incomplete for an agent to invoke confidently.

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 tool has zero parameters, so there is no parameter semantics for the description to add. With an empty schema and 100% schema coverage, the baseline of 4 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 gives a specific verb and operation (merge N source applied controls into 1 target), which is more than a restatement of the name. However, it never explains how 'policies' relates to 'applied controls', and the dangling 'See' leaves the purpose incomplete. Sibling tools such as ciso_assistant_api_applied_controls_merge_create are not distinguished.

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, when not to, or which alternative to choose. The presence of a near-identical sibling (applied_controls_merge_create) makes this omission significant. The description only implies the operation, without routing the agent.

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