Dietary Export Scientific Follow Up Review Board

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false. The description adds no behavioral information beyond restating the purpose—it does not mention what input is accepted, what output is produced, or any constraints or side effects.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is concise and every word contributes to the purpose; under-specification is penalized in other dimensions.

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?

Although the schema and annotations are rich, the description provides almost no contextual guidance for selecting among more than 50 sibling tools. It does not clarify what makes a 'routing board' distinct, what 'readiness-side' means, or how the queueBundle input relates to the exported board.

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 description coverage is 0% and the description never mentions the single 'request' parameter, its required queueBundle, or optional boardNote. It only hints at follow-up items, so the description fails to compensate for the lack of parameter-level explanation.

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 uses a specific verb ('Export') and a distinct resource type ('reviewer-operable routing board') scoped to 'readiness-side scientific follow-up items.' This clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like queue bundles and owner handoff packets.

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?

Usage context is implied: the tool is for exporting a reviewer-facing routing board for scientific follow-up items. However, there are no explicit when-to-use instructions, alternatives, or exclusions, and the many sibling export tools make the selection ambiguous.

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