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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does disclose that long jobs are single-worker and that audit output is not an independent acceptance denominator, which are useful caveats. However, it omits other behavioral aspects like side effects, permission requirements, or reversibility, leaving transparency incomplete.

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 concise (two sentences) and front-loads the key actions. It avoids unnecessary words, but the brevity somewhat undermines clarity. The structure is acceptable for a short description, though it could benefit from a brief explanation of the actions.

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 (10-action enum, nested params object, no output schema), the description is far from complete. It does not describe each action's purpose, the format of params, or expected outcomes. The note about job_id and audit output provides some context, but an agent would still need significant external knowledge to invoke this tool correctly.

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 covers only 25% of parameters (only project_file has a description). The description does not explain the 'action' enum values, the purpose of job_id, or the 'params' object. It mentions job_id in passing but provides no guidance on how to construct or interpret it. This is insufficient for an agent to correctly fill parameters, especially given the low schema coverage.

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 lists specific verbs (validate, audit, rebuild, verify, package, control) acting on 'one declared warehouse CAD project', giving a clear resource and a set of operations. It distinguishes this tool from siblings that handle sessions, queries, edits, and exports by focusing on project-level actions, though the broad action list makes the primary purpose less crisp than a single-verb 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 does not indicate when to use this tool versus the sibling tools (warehouse_cad_session, warehouse_cad_query, etc.) or when not to use it. The only usage hint is that long jobs are single-worker and return job_id, but there is no explicit guidance on scenario selection or alternative routing.

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