legal_ip_protection_loop

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

The description adds some behavioral context by stating that execution routes through the platform's domain-agent dispatcher and is scoped to the caller's JWT, tenant, and company. This does not contradict the annotations, which already flag the tool as destructive and non-idempotent. However, it does not disclose what specific side effects the loop may produce, so the behavioral disclosure remains incomplete.

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 well-structured, with a summary line, routing/scoping context, and a clear Args list. The first sentence is somewhat redundant with the tool name, but the overall length is appropriate for the amount of information provided. It is front-loaded and contains little waste.

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?

For a destructive, non-idempotent agent loop, the definition does not explain what the IP protection action actually does, when it should be triggered, or what structured inputs it expects. The sibling list is large and no differentiation from other legal loops is provided. The output schema may cover return structure, but the description lacks the action-level semantics needed to use the tool correctly.

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 0% schema description coverage, the Args section is the only source of parameter meaning, and it labels `message` as a free-text objective and `inputs` as an optional JSON string. This adds value beyond the bare string types in the schema, but it does not specify what structured inputs are valid for `ip_protection_loop` or how they relate to the message. It is minimally viable but not informative enough for correct construction of the `inputs` JSON.

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 legal domain agent action `ip_protection_loop`', which essentially restates the tool name without explaining what an IP protection loop does. The routing sentence adds mechanics but not purpose. A selecting agent would still be unable to tell what this tool accomplishes beyond the 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 when-to-use guidance is provided, and no alternatives are mentioned. The routing sentence only explains how the call is dispatched under JWT/tenant/company scope, not when to choose this over legal_contract_review, legal_litigation_hold_loop, or dispatch_domain_agent. There are no exclusion or preference conditions.

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