nexus_clear_comment_thread_moderation_status

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

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds the return format (JSON {commentThread: {id}} or error string) and the GraphQL version, but does not elaborate on side effects, permission requirements, or what 'moderation status' clearing visibly changes.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the primary action. The return format is clearly separated, and there is no filler or repetition of the tool name.

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?

For a single-parameter tool with complete schema coverage, an output schema indicator, and annotations covering idempotency and destructiveness, the description is nearly sufficient. The only notable gap is the absence of usage context, but that is already penalized in usage_guidelines.

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 already has 100% parameter description coverage with 'comment_thread_id' documented as 'Comment thread ID.' The description adds no further meaning to the parameter, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 states a specific action ('Clear'), a specific resource ('comment thread's moderation status'), and disambiguates with '(moderator permissions)'. It also notes the API flavor ('via v2 GraphQL'), and the verb+resource combination distinguishes it from siblings like nexus_clear_comment_moderation_status.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or conditions. It does not mention the sibling nexus_clear_comment_moderation_status or explain the difference between clearing a thread's status and a comment's status, leaving the agent to infer applicability.

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