bookshelf_reorder_delayprofile

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the write nature is known. The description adds 'WRITE: this modifies your Bookshelf instance,' which reinforces the mutation but provides little extra behavioral detail. It does not contradict annotations, but it also doesn't disclose the effect of reordering (e.g., persistence, ordering semantics).

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 short (two sentences), but the first sentence 'Update delayprofile reorder' is poorly constructed and not front-loaded with the most useful information. It earns some points for brevity but lacks clarity and 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?

The tool is simple (2 parameters, no nested objects) but the description fails to explain the reordering semantics, such as how after_id influences order or what the output represents. Even though an output schema exists, the description leaves the agent to guess the behavioral contract of the reorder operation.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'Query params: afterId' (camelCase) while the schema uses 'after_id' (snake_case), causing potential confusion. It does not explain what afterId does or what the required 'id' parameter represents, leaving parameter semantics largely ambiguous.

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 explicitly mentions 'delayprofile reorder', naming the resource and action, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like update_delayprofile. However, the phrasing 'Update delayprofile reorder' is grammatically awkward and doesn't clarify whether it reorders the list or updates a reorder property. Still, the core purpose is identifiable.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like update_delayprofile or delete_delayprofile. No context about typical scenarios for reordering or any exclusions is provided. The description merely states the action without situating it among sibling tools.

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