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

With no annotations, the description bears the burden of explaining side effects. It lists planning and running activities, including a blameless retrospective template, but does not disclose any potential side effects, permissions, or safety guarantees. It reads as a safe facilitator, but that is not explicit.

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 a single, concise sentence that efficiently lists key elements without redundancy or filler. It packs significant detail (hypothesis, blast radius, rollback, comms tree, inject schedule, success criteria, retrospective) into a compact structure.

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 specialized scope, the description covers the essential aspects of the tool's function. It names the key components of a game-day, which is sufficient context for an agent to decide if this is the right tool. No output schema exists, so no need to explain return values. Slight improvement would be clarity on what the tool produces or returns.

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?

Both parameters have descriptions in the schema, providing 100% coverage. The tool description does not add additional meaning beyond those already clear descriptions (request as plain-English task, language as programming language). Thus it meets the baseline for high coverage without extra value.

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?

Description clearly states the tool's purpose: planning and running chaos-engineering game-days, with specific components listed (hypothesis, blast radius, rollback, etc.). This verb+resource combination is explicit and distinguishes it from the many sibling tools, which are mostly specialized for other domains.

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 implies usage for chaos-engineering game-days but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of conditions, exclusions, or comparison with other tools. It's clear enough but lacks direct guidance on when to choose it.

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