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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. 'Mark as complete' implies a state change mutation, but it doesn't disclose behavioral traits like whether this requires specific permissions, if it's reversible, what happens to associated data, or any rate limits. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand the tool's 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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, 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 mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral implications, usage context relative to siblings, and what happens upon completion. Given the complexity of timesheet operations and rich sibling tools, more guidance is needed for an agent to use this effectively.

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 100%, so the schema fully documents all three parameters. The description adds no additional meaning about parameters beyond implying a timesheet week context. This meets the baseline of 3 since the schema does the heavy lifting, but the description doesn't compensate with any extra insights.

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 action ('Mark as complete') and resource ('timesheet week'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'complete_timesheet_month' or 'approve_timesheet_week', which would require more specific context about what 'complete' means versus 'approve' or 'reopen'.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'approve_timesheet_week', 'reopen_timesheet_week', and 'complete_timesheet_month', there's no indication of prerequisites, timing, or distinctions between completion and approval processes.

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