Verify a tracked fix

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

Annotations provide minimal information (no read-only, destructive, or idempotent hints). The description adds value by explaining the tool queues a check, is targeted, and not a guarantee. It could mention response time or queuing behavior but is adequate.

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, zero wasted words. Purpose is front-loaded, and the second sentence clarifies limitations. Ideal length for a simple tool.

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?

With one parameter and an output schema (not shown), the high-level behavior is covered. The description lacks details like confirmation of queuing or polling instructions, but the tool's simplicity makes it mostly 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?

Schema coverage is 100% with a clear description for remediationItemId ('A fix id returned by get_fixes'). The description adds no further semantic details about how the ID is used, so baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 tool queues an automated re-check of representative pages for one tracked fix, distinguishing it from full-scans (scan_url) and listing tools (get_fixes). The verb 'verifies' is implied by the name and description.

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 notes this is 'not a full-site re-scan or a compliance guarantee', but stops short of naming alternatives or stating when to use this over sibling tools like get_fix_verification. The mention of 'Pro+' hints at subscription requirements.

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