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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, and the description only restates action names that appear in the input schema. It does not disclose behavioral details beyond the annotations, such as the side effects of cancellation, force-start semantics, or whether reordering is permanent.

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, action-packed sentence that front-loads all key behaviors. Every word earns its place, achieving maximum conciseness without unnecessary filler.

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 tool's mutating nature and lack of output schema, the description is too sparse. It does not explain return behavior, side effects, prerequisites, or how the ids map to queue entries. This is inadequate for an agent to safely use the tool correctly without additional lookup.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameter meaning. While the action enum values are self-explanatory, the 'ids' parameter is ambiguous; the description does not clarify what type of IDs are expected (e.g., task IDs, queue item IDs). No additional context is provided for the actions beyond the enum names.

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 lists the specific actions (start, pause, force-start, reorder, cancel) and identifies the target resource as 'queued downloads'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by focusing on queue manipulation rather than listing or adding downloads.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description implies use for controlling queued downloads, but does not mention exclusions or point to related tools like live_queue or add_downloads for other scenarios.

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