monday_onboarding_template_board_id

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

Without annotations, the description must reveal behavioral traits. It only mentions routing and scope, but does not state whether the tool is read-only, has side effects, or requires specific permissions. The name suggests a read operation, but no explicit disclosure.

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 short (three sentences), but the first sentence is repetitive and the routing detail dominates. It is not efficiently front-loaded with essential purpose information.

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 the low schema coverage and lack of annotations, the description should compensate by explaining the tool's output and usage. It mentions an output schema exists but does not describe what it returns. The tool's role (retrieving a specific board ID) is not communicated, leaving significant 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 single parameter 'arguments' is described as a 'JSON string of arguments for the connector operation,' which adds no meaning beyond the schema. Schema coverage is 0%, and the description does not specify required keys or expected values, leaving the agent completely uninformed.

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 merely restates the tool name as a 'connector operation' and provides routing details, but fails to explain what the tool actually does—e.g., retrieves an onboarding template board ID. The purpose is vague and not differentiated from sibling tools.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like monday_get_board or monday_create_board. The description offers no context on prerequisites or use cases.

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