Publier un post

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

The description discloses immediate publication and a media requirement for specific networks. Without annotations, it carries the full burden but lacks details on side effects, rate limits, or error handling.

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?

Two sentences efficiently convey the main action and a critical constraint, with no 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?

Given no output schema and 4 parameters with nested objects, the description covers the basic action and a key constraint but omits return values, error scenarios, and detailed behavior for perNetworkText.

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 description adds value beyond the input schema by specifying that Instagram and TikTok require the media parameter, which is not explicit in the schema. This helps the agent understand a key constraint.

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 clearly states it publishes a post immediately on selected networks, with a specific action verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like schedule_post by emphasizing immediacy.

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?

The description indicates immediate publishing and notes that Instagram and TikTok require media, providing context for when to use it. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or alternative tools like schedule_post.

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