it_ops_triage_growth_loop_to_sdlc

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

The description adds context about auth scope ('under your JWT, tenant, and company scope') and that the action routes through the domain-agent dispatcher. Annotations already provide destructive/read-only/idempotent hints, so the description doesn't need to repeat them, but it also doesn't disclose any additional side effects or external interactions.

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 compact and front-loaded with the action name, followed by routing context and a clear Args section. It earns its length, though the Args section partially duplicates schema information and could have been slightly richer without becoming bloated.

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 an output schema, the description is incomplete for an agent trying to decide when and how to call this tool. It does not explain what 'triage_growth_loop_to_sdlc' means, what kind of message or structured inputs are expected, what side effects may occur, or how this relates to the other it_ops SDLC tools.

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 0%, so the description carries the burden of explaining parameters. It provides useful semantics: message is the free-text objective, and inputs is an optional JSON string of structured inputs. This goes beyond the bare schema titles, though it lacks examples or details about expected JSON structure.

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 a specific verb and resource ('Run the it_ops domain agent action triage_growth_loop_to_sdlc'), so it is not a tautology. However, it never explains what this action actually accomplishes or how it differs from sibling SDLC-related tools, leaving the agent to infer meaning from the name alone.

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 about when to use this tool versus alternatives like it_ops_triage_sdlc_intake, it_ops_feedback_to_sdlc, or it_ops_website_growth_loop_to_sdlc. The description only explains the routing mechanism, not the intended use case or exclusions.

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