v2.3.6Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare non-read-only, non-idempotent, open-world, non-destructive; the description adds no context beyond that. It doesn't say which actions (delete/update/assign?) are supported, what the payload looks like, whether partial failures are possible, or what permissions are required — all material for a POST batch endpoint.
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?
A single short sentence with no waste, but it is under-specified rather than concise; nothing is front-loaded because there is nothing substantive to front-load.
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?
For a mutating, non-idempotent batch endpoint with no output schema and an empty input schema, the description omits the resource, the allowed actions, and the request body. An agent cannot call this correctly from the definition alone.
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 declares zero properties with additionalProperties=false, which per the rules gives a high baseline. However, a batch action logically requires ids and an action selector, and the description offers no hint about that payload — so it does not compensate for the suspiciously empty schema.
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 says only 'Perform a batch action on multiple objects', which is a generic verb-and-generic-noun restatement of the tool name. It never mentions privacy purposes, nor which batch actions exist, so an agent cannot tell what this does differently from the dozens of sibling *_batch_action_create tools.
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?
No when-to-use, when-not-to-use, prerequisites, or alternatives are given. With ~1000 siblings including per-resource batch actions and a generic privacy_purposes_update/destroy, the agent has nothing to route on.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
