Create batch publish plans

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

The description adds useful behavioral context beyond the annotations: it clarifies that the tool is restartable and resilient to individual drawing failures. This complements the readOnlyHint and idempotentHint without contradicting them.

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 concise sentence with no filler. However, its brevity comes at the cost of clarity, omitting 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 a tool with 6 parameters and a restartable pagination model, the description is incomplete. It fails to mention that the tool creates batch publish plans, how pagination works, or the role of expected_inventory_id in restartability.

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 gives no parameter-specific explanations. Schema covers 67% of parameters, but the description does not compensate for the uncovered parameter (recursive) nor connect pagination concepts to offset or expected_inventory_id.

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 'Inspect' rather than 'Create', which conflicts with the tool's name 'create_batch_publish_plans'. It does not explicitly state that the tool creates batch publish plans; it describes a behavior (inspecting a restartable page of DWGs) rather than the core 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?

No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided. The phrase 'one drawing failure does not stop the batch' implies fault-tolerant batch processing, but it doesn't distinguish this tool from siblings like create_publish_plan or stage_publish_batch.

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