mem_repair_apply

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose whether this tool modifies state, requires specific permissions, or what side effects occur. The term 'apply' implies modification, but details are missing. With zero annotation coverage, the description should compensate.

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 sentence, which is concise. However, it could be restructured to front-load key information. It is not verbose but lacks clarity in the phrase 'derived repair event.'

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 mutation tool with no output schema and no parameter descriptions, the description is too sparse. It does not explain the return value, error conditions, or what 'derived repair event' means. An agent would lack sufficient context to use the tool correctly.

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 input schema has 3 parameters with no descriptions. The tool description does not explain what project_key, repair_kind, or health_report_id mean. Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no value for parameter understanding.

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 uses 'Apply' as a verb and 'repair proposal' as the resource, clearly indicating the action of applying a repair. However, the phrase 'as a derived repair event' is jargon and may confuse agents unfamiliar with the domain. It distinguishes from sibling mem_repair_propose by being the application step.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like mem_repair_propose or other repair tools. It does not specify prerequisites (e.g., must have a repair proposal first), context, or when not to use it.

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