hr_pulse

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

The description adds some context about the execution scope (JWT, tenant, company) but does not disclose side effects, destructiveness, or non-idempotency beyond what is already in the annotations. Since annotations already provide destructiveHint and openWorldHint, the description's added scope information warrants a middle score.

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 (two sentences) and structurally clear, but it is also vague and lacks substantive information. While it does not waste words, the brevity comes at the expense of usefulness, so it is average at best.

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?

The description is far from complete. It does not explain what the tool does, when to use it, what the parameters mean, or what the output will be. An agent would have to rely on the tool name and vague routing details to infer anything, leaving many critical gaps.

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 has two string parameters, 'message' and 'inputs', both with defaults, but neither the schema nor the description explains their meaning or expected format. The schema coverage is 0% and the description provides no additional semantic detail, leaving parameters completely opaque.

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 says 'Run the hr domain agent action hr_pulse' but does not explain what hr_pulse actually does. The verb 'run' is generic, and the object is just the tool's own name. It mentions routing through a dispatcher but not the intended purpose or effect, leaving the actual functionality unclear.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not state any conditions, prerequisites, or scenarios in which hr_pulse should be invoked, nor does it contrast with sibling tools.

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