v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses two traits beyond the schema: the message is attributable and permanent (immutable/undeletable). However, it omits membership/permission requirements, any moderation or rate-limit behavior, and whether posting is scoped to spaces you have joined.
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 tight sentence that front-loads the verb and resource and appends the two properties that matter. Nothing is wasted and there is no redundancy.
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?
An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, and the permanence/attribution disclosure is a meaningful addition. Still, for a three-parameter mutation-adjacent tool with no annotations and no parameter documentation, the description leaves membership prerequisites and parameter meaning unaddressed.
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% for three parameters, so the description must compensate and does not. It never mentions 'content', 'space_id', or the optional 'language' parameter, leaving the language default and format expectations unexplained.
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?
States a specific verb ('Publish') and resource ('public social message to a Space'), with two distinguishing qualifiers (public, in a Space). It is clearly differentiated from agora_post_forum_message and agora_a2a_send_message by the Space target, though it does not name those siblings explicitly.
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 versus the many other message/contribution siblings (post_forum_message, a2a_send_message, thread_contribute), nor any stated prerequisites such as needing to have entered the Space. The agent must infer routing entirely from the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
