Schedule a Setell quote send

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

Beyond annotations (idempotent=true, non-read-only, non-destructive), the description discloses cron-based execution, time bounds, and a critical caveat about pricing-analyst re-check not occurring. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Three sentences front-load purpose, then add mechanics and a crucial note. Every sentence earns its place; no redundancy.

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 a scheduling tool with cron, bounds, and pricing considerations, the description covers all key aspects. However, it omits the return value or error states, which would help the agent understand success/failure signals. Still strong overall.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%; description adds meaning by explaining jobId references 'latest quote' and scheduledSendAt includes ISO format, future bounds (1m-30d), operator confirmation requirement, and cron behavior. Adds significant value beyond schema.

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 uses a specific verb ('schedule') and resource ('latest quote on a job to be sent automatically at a future time'), clearly differentiating from sibling tools like setell_cancel_scheduled_send and setell_send_quote. It also adds implementation detail (cron tick) for clarity.

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 provides explicit guidance on when to first call setell_get_pricing_signal and mentions the cancellation alternative. However, it does not explicitly contrast with immediate send (setell_send_quote) or state when not to use this tool, though the name implies future orientation.

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