legal_ip_protection_loop

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions routing through a dispatcher with JWT/tenant/company scope, indicating auth context, but it does not describe side effects, rate limits, or what the action actually does. This is insufficient for a tool that likely involves IP protection tasks.

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 very concise: three sentences plus a parameter list. It is front-loaded with the tool's action name and avoids unnecessary text.

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 omits what the tool does functionally. Name suggests IP protection, but no details. For a domain agent action, more context about the action's purpose and behavior is needed.

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 coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It adds meaning by labeling 'message' as 'Free-text objective for the action' and 'inputs' as 'Optional JSON string of structured inputs'. This is helpful but minimal; it does not clarify expected formats or examples.

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 runs the 'legal domain agent action ip_protection_loop', specifying the verb and resource. However, it does not explain what ip_protection_loop does, relying on the tool name alone. Among many legal sibling tools, additional differentiation is needed.

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. It does not mention prerequisites, context, or conditions for use. The description lacks any usage scenarios or exclusions.

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