acknowledge_assign_and_close_incident

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It labels the operation as a mutation but does not disclose side effects, required permissions, state transitions, or the meaning of the fields in the example. It adds minimal behavioral context beyond the tool's name.

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 compact and includes a concrete example, but it opens with a categorical label and a mutation name rather than a clear action statement. It is concise but lacks a front-loaded, human-readable explanation, making it less effective than it could be.

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?

This is a composite mutation with no output schema, yet the description provides no explanation of the combined workflow, prerequisites, or expected behavior. It only offers an example template, leaving the agent to infer the tool's semantics from the name and variable names.

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 schema only describes 'input' as a GraphQL type, giving no field-level detail. The example variable block is the primary source of parameter structure, listing fields like acknowledgementMethod, assigneeId, closeCode, closeNote, incidentId, state, and type. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema, though it does not explain each field's purpose.

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 repeats the mutation name and gives an example, but does not explicitly state that it acknowledges, assigns, and closes an incident. The name itself is descriptive, but the description lacks a clear verb+resource statement, so the purpose is only implicit.

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 composite operation versus the individual sibling tools like acknowledge_incident, assign_incident, and close_incident. No exclusions or alternative recommendations are provided.

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