comments_resolve

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

No annotations exist to cover safety or side effects. The description only states 'Resolve a comment thread' without disclosing what changes occur, whether the action is idempotent, or if special permissions are required.

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 short sentence, making it concise and front-loaded. It may be under-specified, but for a simple one-parameter tool, brevity is acceptable.

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?

Given the simple schema and lack of output schema, the description is minimal but lacks contextual detail about the action's effects and return values. The absence of behavioral context makes it incomplete for an agent to fully understand the tool's impact.

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 fully describes the single 'id' parameter with 'Comment ID' (100% coverage). The description does not add any parameter semantics beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 a specific verb 'Resolve' and identifies the resource 'a comment thread,' making the action clear. However, it does not elaborate on what resolving entails, so it doesn't fully distinguish from comments_update which might also modify thread state.

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 usage guidance is provided. The description gives no indication of when to prefer comments_resolve over related tools like comments_update or comments_delete, nor does it mention any prerequisites.

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