after_you_posted

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only mentions returning counts and period, but does not state whether the tool is read-only, non-destructive, or what happens with no data. Lacks explicit safety and edge-case information.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence that immediately conveys when to call the tool. Efficient and free of filler, though it omits some useful context that would raise completeness.

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?

With 9 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is minimal. It does not explain how filters interact, what the output format is beyond 'counts and period', or any defaults beyond those in the schema. Terms like 'this branch' are ambiguous and undefined.

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%, with each parameter having its own description. The tool description adds only a vague reference to 'this word, this type, this branch' which aligns with schema fields but does not deepen understanding beyond what the schema already provides.

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 (call after posting) and the resource (your posts/replies reception) with the result (counts and period). It distinguishes from before_you_post by timing, though it does not explicitly name that sibling.

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?

Provides a clear timing cue ('after you posted') but does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions. The sibling list implies contrast with before_you_post, but that is left to inference rather than stated.

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