Prepare Strata Vault withdrawal policy

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

While the annotations indicate destructive behavior (destructiveHint: true), the description itself does not elaborate on side effects, permissions required, or consequences of the operation. The term 'prepare' is ambiguous—it could mean a transaction preparation or an actual execution—which reduces transparency.

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 concise and free of fluff, but it is overly brief, omitting essential details that would make it informative. It is appropriately sized in length but not in content richness, balancing brevity against clarity.

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?

The description is far from complete. It does not cover important aspects such as return values, error scenarios, prerequisites, or the expected behavior when allowedWalletAddresses is empty. Given the complexity of a policy operation, this level of incompleteness is inadequate.

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 does not explain any of the parameters. It mentions 'blocked' and 'restricted' but does not clarify how 'allowedWalletAddresses' is used or what each mode entails. The schema provides the structure but lacks semantic meaning, and the description adds no value to parameter understanding.

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 ('prepare a policy') and specifies the two modes ('blocked' or 'restricted'), which distinguishes it from other vault-related tools. However, it could be more explicit about the exact outcome of the policy preparation.

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 does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus others, nor does it explain the difference between 'blocked' and 'restricted' modes. It only mentions 'owner-authorized', which implies the intended user but lacks contextual usage instructions.

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