upgradeGift

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

With no annotations, the description itself discloses the auth requirement and the True-on-success result. However, it does not mention important side effects such as the consumption of the regular gift, the payment from the business balance, or whether the upgrade is reversible.

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?

Two short sentences, each earning its place: purpose, required permission, and return behavior. There is no filler or redundant repetition.

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?

The description covers the core purpose, permission requirement, and success return, and the schema covers parameter details. However, with no annotations and no output schema, it leaves side effects and alternative-selection guidance unaddressed, making it minimally sufficient rather than fully complete.

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 input schema already documents all four parameters with individual descriptions, so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no extra parameter-level meaning beyond identifying the gift as regular, keeping it at the baseline score.

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?

States the exact transformation ('Upgrades a given regular gift to a unique gift') with a specific verb and resource. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling gift operations like transferGift or convertGiftToStars.

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?

Provides a useful precondition: the can_transfer_and_upgrade_gifts business bot right. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or say when not to use this tool, so usage context is mostly implied by the tool name and purpose.

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