Connect calendar schedule bus

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the description's 'Create' aligns with a write operation. It adds some context by listing scaffold components and mentions 'credential/privacy safety notes,' but it does not disclose side effects, required permissions, or what happens to existing data. The safety profile is covered by annotations, so the description provides modest additional value.

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 concise, consisting of a single sentence that front-loads the main action ('Create a venue calendar scaffold') and then lists key components. It avoids unnecessary words and is well-organized, though the list format makes it somewhat dense.

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 tool has 10 parameters and no output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain what the scaffold is for, how it should be used, what the final result looks like, or any prerequisites or side effects. It offers only a high-level component list, which is insufficient for an agent to decide when to use it and what to expect.

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 description coverage is only 20% (2 of 10 parameters have descriptions). The tool description does not compensate by explaining any of the parameters. While it mentions concepts like 'adapter source' and 'reminder maps' that loosely relate to adapter_url/adapter_mode and reminder_count, it does not clarify the meaning, defaults, or relationships of the parameters. With such low schema coverage, the description fails to provide the needed parameter context.

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 clearly states it creates a venue calendar scaffold with specific components (event rows, reminder maps, blackout windows, adapter source, safety notes). The verb 'Create' and resource are clear. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools, and the tool name says 'connect' while the description says 'create,' which could cause slight confusion.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There are no prerequisites, no mention of suitable scenarios, and no comparison to other calendar or scaffold tools. The description simply states what it does without any usage context.

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