add_comment_v1_requests__request_id__comments_post

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only mentions auth requirement. No disclosure of side effects, success/error behavior, or limits. Schema provides maxLength but description adds no behavioral context.

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?

Very concise single sentence, suitable for simple action. However includes HTTP method and auth key which may be noise. Could be more structured but not overly verbose.

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?

No output schema, partial parameter descriptions, no annotations. Missing response format, explanation of request_id, and body structure beyond schema. Incomplete for a mutation tool.

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?

Description does not elaborate on parameters. Schema coverage is 50% (only body has description). request_id lacks description, and description does not compensate.

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 it adds a comment to a request thread, with verb 'Add' and resource 'comment'. Implicitly distinguishes from siblings like delete_comment and edit_comment but could be more explicit.

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?

Only mentions 'Authenticated users only' as prerequisite. No guidance on when to use vs alternatives like list_request_events or other comment operations. Missing when-not-to-use.

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