beeboo_approval_request

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that this tool is for requesting approval (implying a human-in-the-loop workflow) and mentions 'potentially impactful operation,' hinting at risk or sensitivity. However, it lacks details on response format, timeout behavior, error conditions, or how approvals are processed, leaving gaps in behavioral understanding.

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 two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose and followed by usage guidance. Every word earns its place, with no redundancy or fluff, making it highly efficient and easy to parse.

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 complexity (a human-approval workflow with 2 parameters), no annotations, and no output schema, the description is reasonably complete. It covers purpose and usage well but lacks details on behavioral outcomes (e.g., what happens after submission). For a tool without annotations or output schema, it could benefit from more context on the approval process.

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 100%, with both parameters ('title' and 'description') well-documented in the schema. The description does not add any additional meaning or examples beyond what the schema provides (e.g., it doesn't clarify format or best practices for the parameters). Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema handles the heavy lifting.

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 states the specific action ('Request human approval') and the resource ('for an action'), with a precise verb+resource combination. It distinguishes this tool from its siblings like 'beeboo_approval_check' (which likely checks status) and 'beeboo_approvals_list' (which lists approvals), making the purpose unambiguous.

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 explicitly states when to use this tool: 'Use this when you need explicit permission before proceeding with a potentially impactful operation.' This provides clear context for invocation and distinguishes it from alternatives like 'beeboo_request_create' (which might be for general requests) or 'beeboo_approval_check' (for checking status).

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