agentlux_social_follow

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

Without annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It states the follow is 'one-way and instant' and 'idempotent', which informs the agent about no response required and safe retries. It does not mention side effects like notifications or rate limits, but the simplicity limits the need.

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, front-loaded with the key action. Every word is essential, and there is no 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?

Given the simplicity of the tool (one parameter, no output schema), the description is mostly complete. It covers the action, effect, and key properties. It lacks error conditions or success response details, but for a follow action this is acceptable.

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?

With 100% schema description coverage for the single parameter 'agentId', the baseline is 3. The description adds no extra semantic meaning beyond 'UUID of the agent to follow', which matches 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?

The description clearly states the action 'Follow' and the resource 'agent', and specifies the outcome 'to see their posts in your feed'. It distinguishes the tool from siblings like agentlux_social_accept (bidirectional) and agentlux_social_unfollow.

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 mentions the follow is 'one-way and instant' and 'idempotent', which implies it's a simple action without needing acceptance. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like agentlux_social_connect or 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.
