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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It clearly states the mutating action (mark as read), but does not explain the exact semantics of 'through' (specific message vs up-to-and-including), idempotency, or any side effects beyond marking read.

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?

A single sentence with no filler, and the scoping alternative '(or all current mail)' is front-loaded and clearly separated. It is appropriately compact for a simple mail action.

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 three parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It leaves agent and session_id unexplained, and does not clarify the return value or the precise behavior when a mail_id is supplied versus omitted. This is insufficient for an agent to call the tool correctly in all cases.

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 description coverage is only 33%, and the description does not compensate for the undocumented 'agent' and 'session_id' parameters. It essentially restates the 'through' behavior already present in the schema, adding no new meaning for the remaining parameters.

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+resource ('Mark inbox mail as read') and clearly distinguishes this tool from siblings like inbox, reply, send_message, and await_reply. The mail_id/all-current-mail scoping further clarifies what it operates on.

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 conveys the core operation and the two modes (specific mail_id vs all current mail), but does not explicitly state when to choose this over alternatives or mention any exclusions. Usage context is implied rather than explicitly guided.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden and does a solid job: it declares a blocking wait, the pending outcome, the default timeout of 5s, and the max of 30s. It does not describe the success return payload or edge-case behavior, but the core behavior is transparent.

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 and scoping, followed by key behavioral facts about pending results and timeouts. There is no filler or redundant repetition of schema fields.

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 four-optional-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the timeout and pending condition but leaves parameter semantics incomplete and does not clarify the success return shape. It is adequate for simple use but not 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?

Schema description coverage is only 50%, with agent and session_id left undocumented. The description merely echoes 'from one session' and the timeout defaults, adding no meaning for the two unexplained parameters or clarifying how agent/session_id relate to from.

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 clear verb-resource pair ('Wait briefly for new inbox mail') and specifies the optional session scoping, which helps distinguish it from siblings like send_message or inbox. The mention of 'Returns pending if none arrives' further clarifies the tool's purpose.

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 implies when to use the tool: when waiting for new inbox mail with a timeout. It does not explicitly explain when not to use it or point to alternatives such as inbox for non-blocking checks, so the guidance is present but not fully explicit.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does real work: it declares the failure mode ('Errors if the target file already exists,' i.e., non-overwriting create), and frames notes as 'untrusted inert history,' which signals prompt-injection safety semantics. Missing details are return value/path and any permission requirements.

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?

Three dense sentences, front-loaded with the core action, then the agent support matrix, then the failure mode. No filler or 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?

For a 5-parameter mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers agent eligibility and the overwrite-prevention behavior, but leaves 'project' unexplained and says nothing about the created note's location or what the call returns on success.

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 description coverage is 60%; the description restates the agent set (also in the schema) and the file-exists error but adds nothing for 'project' or 'content,' which are undocumented in both places. It neither compensates for the coverage gap nor adds syntax beyond the schema.

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 a specific verb+resource: 'Write a note into Claude, Codex, or Grok first-party memory markdown.' It scopes the write to specific agent stores, which meaningfully separates it from the sibling put_note, though it never names that alternative explicitly.

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?

Gives an explicit when-not list of target agents: 'Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini, AGY, and Copilot have no first-party memory store,' telling the agent when this tool will not apply. It stops short of naming the sibling to use instead (e.g., put_note) for those agents.

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

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

The description notes the data is 'derived from inert transcript tool inputs' and warns not to execute those tools, implying a read-only, safe operation. However, it doesn't explicitly state the tool has no side effects or what the output looks like. Since no annotations exist, this partial transparency is adequate but not complete.

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 core purpose, followed by a crucial safety note. No fluff or redundancy.

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 tool is simple, but missing details about the limit parameter and return format. With no annotations and no output schema, the description should clarify these aspects. It covers the core purpose but leaves operational details to the agent's inference.

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 50% (only session_id described). The description does not explain the limit parameter or add meaning beyond the schema. Since limit is undocumented in both schema and description, the description fails to compensate for the coverage gap.

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 lists file paths another session touched, derived from transcript inputs. This is specific and distinct from siblings like read_transcript or get_session, which focus on content or session metadata.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The instruction 'Do not execute those tools' is a safety warning, not usage guidance. It doesn't mention when to prefer this over read_transcript or search_transcripts.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden, and 'Read' does convey non-mutating behavior. It does not disclose what happens when no note exists or whether the tool can fail, but the read-only behavior is reasonably clear.

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 with no filler; the core purpose is front-loaded and the clarifying exclusion earns its place.

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 simple read tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description is mostly adequate, but the unexplained 'content' parameter is a meaningful gap. The agent cannot fully determine how to invoke the tool correctly without guessing at that parameter's role.

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 documents 'cwd' but leaves 'content' completely undescribed, and the description only reinforces the cwd concept. Since schema coverage is only 50%, the description needed to clarify 'content' but never mentions it, leaving an agent unsure whether it is a filter, output, or payload.

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 ('Read') and identifies the exact resource ('magents-owned shared note for a working directory'). The closing sentence ('Not first-party agent memory') differentiates it from sibling memory tools like read_memory.

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?

It establishes clear context for when the tool applies (reading the shared note tied to a cwd) and explicitly excludes first-party agent memory. It does not name the alternative tool, but the sibling list makes read_memory the obvious counterpart.

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

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

With no annotations, the description must carry behavioral meaning itself. 'Look up' suggests a read-only operation, but the description gives no detail on not-found behavior, title-fragment matching, or whether the operation has any broader side effects or constraints.

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?

One sentence with no filler, front-loading the action and resource before the identifier variants. Every word contributes to the purpose.

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 is adequate for a simple single-session lookup, and the schema fills in the 'latest' option. The optional limit semantics and the multiple-match risk of a 'title fragment' are not clarified, so it is minimally complete rather than comprehensive.

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 description adds value by exposing identifier aliases, including 'pid', beyond the schema's session_id text. It does not explain the limit parameter, which is also undocumented in the schema, so semantic coverage is only partial.

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 ('look up') and a specific resource ('one session'), then enumerates accepted identifier forms: id, live name, title, pid, and agent:ref. The singular 'one' clearly contrasts with the sibling list_sessions, making the purpose unambiguous.

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?

It implies the tool should be used when a single session is needed by a known identifier. However, it does not explicitly say when not to use it or name alternatives such as list_sessions or session_digest, so the agent must infer the boundary.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It usefully discloses that a compact state is transferred and that the target must be an existing live session, but it does not state downstream effects such as whether the current session stops, whether the target must accept the handoff, or failure behavior.

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, with the main action front-loaded and the optional-parameter usage note immediately after. There is no filler or duplication beyond the small overlap with the schema.

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 plus fully covered schema is enough to know what arguments to pass and that this is a handoff, but the absence of an output schema and annotations leaves gaps about the lifecycle effect and result of the handoff. It is adequate for simple invocation but not fully self-contained.

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%, so the parameter descriptions already document `to` and `reason`. The tool description only repeats the omit-to-select behavior and adds little semantic information beyond the schema, matching the baseline for fully covered schemas.

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 names a concrete action ('hand this work') and a specific target class ('another existing live agent'), which clearly separates it from sibling tools like spawn_session or send_message. The instruction to omit `to` for auto-selection also clarifies the primary purpose in one line.

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 a clear usage context: use this when work should be transferred to another live agent, and it explains how to fall back to auto-selection. It does not explicitly list alternatives or exclusions, but the 'existing live agent' wording implicitly rules out spawning or messaging tools.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden; it does disclose this is a read operation on an inbox where cross-agent messages land. It does not explain whether reading affects unread state, how since filtering behaves, or any permission/availability constraints, but the read intent is clear.

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, front-loaded with the action and resource; no filler. The typo 'magents' is minor and does not undermine structure.

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 4-parameter tool with no output schema or annotations, this description covers only the basic read behavior and session default. It omits the meaning of agent and unread_only, return shape, and filtering semantics, so an agent cannot fully anticipate tool behavior.

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 only 25% and the description only clarifies session_id ('this session or a given session_id'). The agent and unread_only parameters are left unexplained, and since is only documented in the schema. Low coverage means the description should compensate but does not.

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Read the magents inbox' and adds the key context that cross-agent messages land there. It is clear what the tool does, though it does not explicitly differentiate against sibling tools like read_transcript or get_session.

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 implies usage: read this session's inbox when you need messages left by other agents, optionally for a given session_id. It gives no explicit when-not-to-use guidance or alternatives, so the routing is only inferred.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does disclose the concrete write side-effects (a run directory of sessions, surfaces, usage, phrases, plan.json shards) and a negative trait ('Does not change skills'), which is genuinely useful. However it omits permissions, overwrite/reversibility behavior of the run directory, and any rate or cost caveats, leaving real gaps.

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?

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with the primary action and default scope. Minor loss for packing the estimator alternative into the opening sentence, which slightly blurs the primary purpose.

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 an 11-parameter tool with no annotations, no output schema, and only 36% schema description coverage, the description is under-specified. It lists output artifacts but leaves most parameters and any operational prerequisites unexplained, so an agent cannot call it precisely without guesswork.

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 only 36% across 11 parameters. The description only tangentially gestures at two of them ('Default scope is all history' ~ days/since_last, 'estimate the cost of a run' ~ estimate) and says nothing about cwd, out, agent, batch, limit, drop_pattern, include_headless, or include_subagents. It fails to compensate for the low 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?

States specific verbs (collect, estimate) and resources (compact session records, run directory) with named artifacts (sessions, surfaces, usage, phrases, plan.json mapper shards). It is clearly distinguishable from generic siblings, though it never names the closely related learn_state or session_digest to sharpen the boundary.

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?

Gives implied context ('for /learn', 'Default scope is all history') and a mode switch (estimate the cost of a run), but never states when to prefer this over learn_state, session_digest, or read_transcript, and offers no exclusions beyond 'Does not change skills.'

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It signals a read path via 'get', but clear, trash, and restrict are almost certainly destructive and nothing warns about reversibility, required permissions, or side effects on other state.

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 with no filler, and the read/update distinction plus action list are front-loaded. It is efficient, though arguably too terse to earn full marks.

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?

Fifteen parameters, 27% schema coverage, no annotations, and no output schema leaves the description wholly inadequate: it never maps parameters to actions, which is the single most important thing an agent needs for a multi-action tool.

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 description coverage is only 27% across 15 parameters, so the description must compensate and does not. It repeats the action enum that the schema's own 'action' field already documents, and explains no other parameter (id, kind, scope, target, decision, item_action, undo, paths, etc.).

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 verb pair 'read or update' is explicit and the action list narrows the scope, so an agent can tell this touches '/learn state'. But 'magents /learn state' is internal jargon that never says what is actually being read or mutated, and no sibling (e.g. learn_collect) is distinguished.

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 enumerates the six valid actions but gives no condition for choosing among them, no prerequisite, and no mention of how this relates to learn_collect or the other learn/memory siblings. The reader must infer everything about when to call this.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden but only discloses sort ordering ("Live agents first"). It says nothing about default filtering of archived sessions, result format, pagination, or why a session might be omitted, all of which matter for a 7-parameter listing tool.

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, front-loaded with the resource and scope, with zero filler. It is efficient, though the terseness trades away useful detail rather than being genuinely information-dense.

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 7-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is thin: it omits default behavior for include_archived/live_only, how filters combine, and what a returned session record contains. An agent could call it, but only by guessing at defaults.

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 only 43%, so the description must compensate, yet it adds meaning only for the `agent` parameter by restating the supported agent names. The remaining parameters (cwd, limit, query, branch, live_only, include_archived) receive no explanation or interaction semantics beyond what the schema already says.

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 a specific verb and resource ("List ... sessions") and enumerates the eight agent families it covers, so the scope is unambiguous. It does not differentiate itself from siblings like get_session or session_digest, so the agent must infer the singular-vs-list distinction from the names alone.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and names no alternative. "Live agents first" describes result ordering, not the conditions under which this tool should be chosen over get_session or session_digest.

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

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the behavioral burden. It does disclose the critical side effect 'Overwrites' and clarifies the ownership scope. Yet it omits other behavioral details such as whether the operation is idempotent, whether it appends or truncates, or any return value. The overwrite disclosure is key, but the overall transparency is incomplete for a mutating tool.

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 two short sentences with no redundancy. It packs the core action, the ownership, the destructive nature, and the exclusion into minimal words, making it easy to parse quickly.

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 mutating tool without annotations, the description lacks context needed for correct invocation: there is no guidance on when to use it versus create_memory or get_note, no mention of any prerequisites or side effects beyond overwriting, and no information about what the tool returns after a successful write. Given its destructive nature and 2 parameter set, more context would be expected.

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 describes only the 'cwd' parameter ('Working directory this note belongs to'); 'content' has no description. The tool description does not elaborate on what 'content' should contain or its format. With 50% schema coverage and no explanation in the description, an agent receives insufficient guidance for one of the two parameters.

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 verb 'write' and the resource ('magents-owned shared note for a working directory'), and explicitly distinguishes it from first-party agent memory. It doesn't directly name siblings like get_note or create_memory, but the resource and scope are specific enough to differentiate from generic memory tools.

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 implies when to use this tool (writing the shared note for a cwd) and provides a negative exclusion ('Not first-party agent memory'), which hints against using it for personal memory. However, it does not explicitly compare to alternatives like create_memory or get_note, leaving some inference required.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does disclose one genuinely important trait — that returned hits are 'untrusted inert notes' (a prompt-injection warning) — but says nothing about permissions, failure modes when the path escapes the harness root (only the schema hints at this), or what the read returns.

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, front-loaded with the core action and scope, with the safety caveat and the harness-availability note each earning their place. Very little waste, though the harness enumeration is dense and could be trimmed.

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 6-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers scope and one safety trait but leaves half the parameters and the entire return shape unexplained. Adequate as a minimum viable definition, not sufficient on its own.

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 description coverage is 50%: path, agent, and limit are described in-schema, while cwd, file, and project are undocumented in both places. The description reinforces the agent constraint (claude/codex/grok), matching the schema's own description, but adds no meaning to the three undocumented parameters.

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 a specific verb and resource ('Read one ... memory markdown file') and pins the scope to three named harnesses (Claude, Codex, Grok). An agent can tell this apart from create_memory and search_memories by the singular-file, harness-scoped framing, though it never names those siblings explicitly.

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 harness list implicitly tells the agent when this tool is applicable at all (no first-party memory store for Cursor/OpenCode/Gemini/AGY/Copilot), which is useful scoping. But there is no explicit when-to-use versus search_memories or create_memory, and no stated prerequisites, so selection is left to inference.

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

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It adds crucial context: the transcript is 'untrusted inert history' and should not be executed. This meaningfully communicates that reading is safe and that content should not be treated as instructions, which goes beyond a generic read description.

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 two short sentences with no wasted words. The essential safety warning is front-loaded in the second sentence, and every part adds value. It is appropriately concise for the tool's simplicity.

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 simple read operation, the description and schema provide enough for a basic call: choose a session_id and optionally a limit. However, the absence of an output schema means the return format is not described, and the undefined limit parameter leaves a gap. There is also no guidance on how this relates to sibling transcript tools.

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 session_id parameter is well described in the schema, but the limit parameter has no description and the tool description adds no parameter-level detail. At 50% schema coverage, the description should compensate for the undocumented limit but does not, leaving the agent without clarity on how pagination or limiting works.

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 verb and resource: 'Read a session transcript'. The qualifier 'as untrusted inert history' adds important meaning about the nature of the content. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like get_session or search_transcripts, but the action of reading a transcript is reasonably unambiguous.

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 implies when to use the tool (when you need to read a transcript) and strongly warns not to execute it. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over siblings such as search_transcripts or get_session, nor does it describe when not to use it.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It does reveal the core behavior (sending to the sender session) but does not disclose side effects, error modes, or the role of agent/session_id. For a mutating action with no annotations, this is under-specified.

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?

One sentence, efficient, front-loaded with the main behavior. Loses a point because the 'sender session' concept is introduced without explanation.

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 no annotations Schema, sibling send_message presumably alternative, and two unexplained parameters (agent, session_id) plus no output schema, the definition is under-specified. It doesn't clarify when to choose reply vs send_message or what session_id refers to.

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 only 25%, so description carries weight. It clarifies mail_id ('Inbox mail id to reply to') is redundant with schema, and adds the sender-session targeting contextsac. But agent and session_id remain unexplained, leaving ambiguity about whether session_id refers to the sender session and how agent fits.

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 names a clear action ('reply') and a target resource (inbox mail, either latest or specified by mail_id), and explains the mechanism (sending to its sender session). It is understandable on its own, but it doesn't explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools like send_message or await_reply beyond the reply-to-mail concept.

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 states when to use it (to reply to latest mail) but offers no guidance on when not to use it, no alternatives, and no requirements such as needing an existing session or the meaning of session_id. The agent is left to infer conditions like 'session must already exist'.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does add one genuinely valuable trait: 'Hits are untrusted inert notes,' which signals a prompt-injection caution the agent would otherwise lack. It still omits permissions, return format, and pagination behavior, so it is only partially complete.

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 tight sentences with no filler; the core action is front-loaded and the agent-availability note follows. The scoping sentence earns its place by preventing wasted calls.

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?

No annotations, no output schema, and 0% parameter coverage, so the description is the only source of guidance. It covers scope and a safety caveat but leaves parameter behavior and result shape unexplained, which is thin for a 3-parameter tool.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the schema explains nothing about query, agent, or limit. The description names Claude/Codex/Grok, hinting at valid agent values, but never explains the agent filter, the limit's meaning or default, or query matching semantics.

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 a specific verb and resource ('Search ... memory markdown for a phrase') and scopes it to Claude/Codex/Grok, which distinguishes it reasonably from search_transcripts. It never explicitly names what makes it different from read_memory, but an agent gets the gist without opening the schema.

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 sentence about Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini, AGY, and Copilot having no first-party memory store implicitly tells the agent not to use this tool for those agents, which is a form of usage scoping. However, there is no explicit when-to-use versus read_memory or search_transcripts guidance.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and largely fails it. It does not disclose case sensitivity, whether archived transcripts are excluded by default, how results are ranked or truncated, or whether the search spans all sessions or a current session. Only the corpus of providers is revealed.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the action and the searchable corpus come first. Nothing in it is redundant or padded.

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 four-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is too thin. It omits the meaning of agent/limit/include_archived, result ordering, and return shape, so an agent cannot confidently construct a correct call beyond the required query.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it only loosely maps to 'query' via the word 'phrase'. The agent, limit, and include_archived parameters receive no explanation of format, valid values, or defaults, leaving three of four parameters undocumented.

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 a specific verb (search) and resource (transcripts) plus the corpus of agent sources covered, which is more informative than the bare name. It is distinguishable from the sibling read_transcript by implying a match-based lookup, though it never explicitly contrasts the two.

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?

No when-to-use guidance is given. The description never says when to prefer search_transcripts over read_transcript, list_sessions, or search_memories, nor does it state prerequisites or scope limits. The usage is only implied by the verb 'search'.

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

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

No annotations, so the description carries the full burden. It does usefully disclose the transport routing (native UDS/tmux and Codex Desktop IPC preferred, otherwise headless CLI resumes the exact session) and that the message is always queued in the magents mailbox. It omits whether the call blocks for delivery, what happens if `to` is unknown, and any auth/permission requirements.

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?

Front-loaded with the core action, then routing and delivery semantics in two supporting sentences. The eight-backend enumeration is slightly listy but it earns its place by defining valid targets; no wasted filler.

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 2-param, no-annotation, no-output-schema tool, the description covers purpose, routing, and durable queueing. Missing pieces are the failure/unknown-target behavior and the acknowledgement or return semantics, which the absence of an output schema leaves unexplained.

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 50% (`to` documented, `message` bare). The description confirms `to` must reference an existing chat but adds no format detail, alias resolution rules, or constraints for either parameter beyond what the schema already states.

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?

Specific verb+resource: 'Send a message into an existing ... chat,' and it enumerates the supported agent backends, which scopes the tool well. It does not, however, differentiate from the sibling `reply` tool, so an agent cannot tell the two apart from the descriptions alone.

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?

'Existing ... chat' implies the target session must already exist (contrast spawn_session), and the routing preference hints at when a native path is used. But there is no explicit when-to-use vs `reply`, `await_reply`, or `inbox`, and no stated failure condition.

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

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden and explicitly states 'inert' and 'Does not inject,' making the read-only, side-effect-free behavior clear. It also discloses the summary contents and 'clipped turns,' hinting at truncation. It does not cover errors or permissions, but core behavior is well disclosed.

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, dense sentences with no filler. The first sentence front-loads the tool's purpose and output contents, and 'Does not inject' earns its place by clarifying side-effect behavior.

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 low-complexity tool with no output schema, the description names key output fields and confirms non-injection. Still, it leaves ambiguity about how the limit parameter controls results, what 'clipped turns' means exactly, and behavior when the session cannot be found. A bit more context would make invocation fully safe and predictable.

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 description coverage is only 50%: session_id is documented in the schema, but limit has no schema description and is never explained in the description. 'Clipped turns' loosely hints at limiting or truncation, but it does not explicitly map the limit parameter to its effect. The description does not compensate for the undocumented parameter.

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 identifies the tool as a compact, inert summary of a session and enumerates the returned fields: last request, last action, cwd, branch, clipped turns. It lacks an explicit verb like 'get' or 'read', and does not directly distinguish itself from siblings like get_session or read_transcript, though 'does not inject' separates it from action-oriented tools.

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 is implied by 'compact inert summary'—an agent can infer it is for quick session overviews. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over get_session, read_transcript, or list_sessions. 'Does not inject' provides a constraint but not a full when/when-not routing rule.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and delivers non-obvious behavior: sessions are headless and persisted, the host's native approvals apply and magents 'does not bypass them' (an authorization constraint), and an accepted/starting response means launch was accepted, 'not completed' (async semantics). These are exactly the traits an agent could otherwise get wrong.

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?

Five short sentences, purpose front-loaded, with every sentence contributing either purpose, parameter guidance, or behavior. The agent enumeration in sentence one and in the schema is mildly redundant, but nothing is padded or buried.

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 3-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers purpose, parameter expectations, approval behavior, and async response semantics. The one remaining gap is that, absent an output schema, it does not say what the accepted/starting response actually contains (e.g., a session id to use with the sibling tools).

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%, so baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning on top: the message should contain the complete independent task including verification and how to reply, and cwd is only needed when concurrent edits could collide. That is guidance the schema's terse field descriptions do not provide.

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 opens with a precise verb+resource ('Start a new ... session') and scopes it as headless, persisted, and 'for independent work', which cleanly separates it from siblings that operate on existing sessions (send_message, reply, await_reply, stop_session). An agent can tell what this tool creates without opening the schema.

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?

It gives actionable conditions: supply a complete task and request a reply, and pass an explicit isolated cwd 'when concurrent edits could collide'. It also notes the host approval regime, which is context an agent needs before invoking. It never names an alternative (e.g., when to reuse an existing session instead of spawning), so it stops short of full when/when-not routing.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It discloses its primary effect and a non-effect (not killing hosts), but doesn't say whether the stop is graceful, whether session data is preserved, or whether the session can later be resumed. Some behavioral context is provided, but important side-effect details are missing.

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 with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, and the clarifying boundary ('Does not kill Desktop/TUI hosts') is placed immediately after.

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 imperative tool with no output schema, this covers the action, scope, and an important boundary. It could mention post-stop state or cleanup behavior, but nothing essential for correct invocation is missing.

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%, and the schema already documents that session_id accepts an id, title, or 'agent:ref'. The description adds no parameter-specific detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 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 uses a specific verb ('Stop') and resource ('session'), scoped to 'magents-supervised spawned or resumed sessions'. It also explicitly says it does not kill Desktop/TUI hosts, which distinguishes this from host-level termination and from sibling tools like get_session or spawn_session.

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?

It gives a clear condition for use: stopping a magents-supervised spawned or resumed session, and a clear when-not signal with 'Does not kill Desktop/TUI hosts'. It doesn't name alternative tools, but the stop operation has no close sibling, so the implied usage context is enough.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does disclose the resolution order (request _meta session id, then env, messaging socket, or cwd match, then host process fallback), which is genuinely useful behavioral context for a tool whose answer can vary by environment. It stops short of saying what is actually returned or whether resolution can fail ambiguously.

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?

Three sentences, with the purpose correctly front-loaded. However, the later two sentences are dense with implementation jargon (messaging socket, unique live cwd match) whose value to an agent choosing a tool is marginal and somewhat confusing.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description should clarify the return shape (a session id? a host name? cwd?), but it does not. The resolution mechanism is covered, yet an agent cannot predict what payload it gets back.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. There is nothing for the description to disambiguate beyond the (absent) inputs.

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 first sentence states the resource precisely: identity of the current MCP connection. It's a recognizable verb+concept, though the description never distinguishes it from siblings like get_session or list_sessions, which also return session information.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance. The description explains how the session id is resolved but not when an agent should call whoami versus get_session or list_sessions, leaving the routing decision entirely to inference.

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