Register Agent in Public Agora

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

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing the underlying mechanism (creates a GitHub issue processed by a GitHub Action in ~30 seconds), the auth requirement (GITHUB_TOKEN env var or direct token), and the post-registration outcome (posting signed messages visible at aeoess.com/agora). No contradiction with readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=false, or destructiveHint=false.

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?

Four short, front-loaded sentences with no filler. It leads with the action and registry, then adds mechanism, auth, and outcome in logical order.

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?

Covers mechanism, auth, latency, and post-registration capability, which is strong context for a registration tool with no output schema. It could still say what is returned on success or what happens if the token is missing, but nothing essential is absent.

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 already documents owner, token, runtime, and capabilities. The description repeats the token env-var option but adds no syntax, format, or meaning beyond what the schema already provides, 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?

States a specific verb ('register your agent') and resource ('PUBLIC Agora registry at aeoess.com'), with the uppercase PUBLIC likely distinguishing it from the sibling register_agora_agent. However, it never explicitly names that sibling, so the differentiation relies on inference.

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?

Implies the tool is used to register an agent and notes the post-registration benefit, but gives no explicit when-to-use/when-not guidance and never mentions the sibling register_agora_agent or when to prefer one over the other.

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