gateway_process_tool_call

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

With no annotations, the description is the only source of behavioral context. It discloses the deprecation status, which is useful, and hints at an enforcement boundary, but it gives no details on side effects, permissions, or return behavior beyond that. This is a minimal but not worthless disclosure.

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 short and avoids waste, but it is under-specified. The deprecation notice is a legitimate sentence, and the purpose statement is concise; however, it lacks necessary elaboration, so it is not a model of efficient completeness. It earns a middle score.

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 a 7-parameter schema with no parameter descriptions, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is far too thin. It provides no guidance on parameter values, behavior, or expected outcome, and only offers a deprecation warning. The tool would be hard to invoke correctly based solely on this description.

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%, yet the description adds no meaning to any of the 7 parameters. It does not mention agentId, tool, scopeRequired, or any other field, leaving the agent without any clue as to what these parameters represent or how to use them.

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 clear action ('Process a tool call') and the specific context ('through the gateway enforcement boundary'), which is a specific verb+resource combination. However, it does not distinguish this from sibling gateway tools like create_gateway or gateway_approve, so it falls short of a 5.

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 says the tool is deprecated in v3.0.0 and directs users to use the gateway.aeoess.com REST API instead. This is a clear when-not-to-use directive and names an alternative, which fully satisfies the highest guideline criterion.

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