clio_action_plan_submit

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It only mentions routing and argument format, omitting side effects, required scope, or idempotency. The agent learns nothing about what submission triggers.

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 short but not efficiently structured; the purpose is buried after connector routing info. It is concise but lacks front-loading of key intent.

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?

Despite having a single parameter and an output schema, the description omits what the tool returns or what the arguments represent. The agent cannot determine the tool's full purpose or expected input structure.

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 description merely restates the 'arguments' parameter as a JSON string, repeating the schema. It does not explain expected keys or values, leaving the agent to guess, especially given 0% schema coverage.

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 identifies the tool as 'Clio connector operation action_plan_submit', indicating it submits an action plan. However, it lacks details on what submitting entails and does not differentiate from siblings like clio_action_plan_create.

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 (e.g., clio_action_plan_create). The description fails to provide context or prerequisites.

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