Skip or un-skip an upcoming service

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true), the description discloses a critical behavioral detail: without confirm:true it is a dry run that returns a preview and makes no network call. This adds significant transparency about side effects and execution mode, which the annotations alone do not convey.

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?

Two concise sentences, front-loaded with the primary action and immediately giving the essential prerequisite. No filler or redundant text; every clause contributes meaningful information.

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 covers prerequisites and the confirm gating, which is good. However, without an output schema it does not describe the preview format or the final response after a confirmed skip/unskip, leaving a small gap for a state-changing tool.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds a small value by highlighting confirm's dry-run behavior, but mostly reinforces the rid/clid source that the schema already documents. No major enrichment beyond 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?

Description uses a specific verb ('Skip (or un-skip)') with a clear resource ('upcoming collection day'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like report_missed_pickup and list_upcoming_services. The mention of passing rid + clid from crowntown_list_upcoming_services further grounds the tool's exact role.

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 provides a key prerequisite (obtain rid/clid from crowntown_list_upcoming_services) and clearly explains the dry-run behavior without confirm:true. It does not explicitly name when-not-to-use or alternatives, but the context is evident from the tool's action and sibling names.

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