accounts.createAuthorizationLink

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

Zero annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Fails to disclose what the returned link contains/expiry, what the redirectUrl parameter actually does (where user lands post-authorization), side effects (e.g., invalidates previous links?), or error cases (unregistered email).

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?

Single front-loaded sentence with zero redundancy. However, extreme brevity is inappropriate given 0% schema coverage and lack of annotations, suggesting insufficient information density rather than efficient communication.

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 no annotations, no output schema, and undocumented parameters, the description is insufficient. Critical gaps include: the link's return format/content, redirectUrl behavior, authorization flow mechanics, and error handling—information an agent needs to invoke this correctly.

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 has 0% description coverage. Description partially compensates by constraining email to 'registered account,' but completely omits explanation of redirectUrl's purpose despite the high compensation burden. An agent cannot infer redirectUrl semantics from the description alone.

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 specific verb (Create) and resource (Ryft account authorization link), but 'authorization link' is vague regarding the flow type (OAuth, verification, etc.). 'For a registered account email' hints at prerequisite but doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling accountLinks.generateTemporary or clarify when to use versus accounts.verify.

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 a prerequisite (email must belong to a registered account) which distinguishes from accounts.create, but provides no explicit when-to-use guidance, no mention of the authorization flow steps, and no comparison to accountLinks.generateTemporary which appears to serve a similar purpose.

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