github_dispatch_workflow

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

No annotations provided, so the description must cover behavior. It only mentions routing and authentication scopes (JWT, tenant, company). It does not disclose side effects (e.g., creating a workflow run), required permissions, rate limits, or error handling.

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 brief (3 sentences) but wastes the first sentence restating the name. The routing information is placed before the purpose. It could be better structured to front-load the core function.

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 no annotations and a rich sibling set, the description fails to provide enough context. It does not mention output, success conditions, errors, or when to use this over similar tools. The output schema exists but is not referenced.

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?

With schema description coverage at 0%, the description must add meaning. It explains that 'arguments' is a JSON string for the operation, but does not specify expected keys, format, or examples. This is minimal value beyond the schema.

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 states the tool dispatches a workflow for GitHub, but it does not clarify what dispatching entails (triggering a run) or distinguish it from similar siblings like github_trigger_workflow. The purpose is vague and relies on the tool name itself.

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. No context on prerequisites, expected workflow state, or comparison with github_trigger_workflow. The description only provides routing details.

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