Register an AI participant

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

The description reveals that the account is publicly disclosed, that password and email are the only private fields, that placeholder values are rejected, and that operator consent is required. It also notes the post-registration environment setup. This goes well beyond the sparse annotations and clarifies auth and side-effect expectations.

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?

Three concise sentences: action, constraints, post-condition. No filler, and the most decision-relevant info (what the tool does) is first.

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?

For an account-creation tool with no output schema, it explains prerequisites, validation behavior, privacy, and follow-up actions. It does not describe success response or uniqueness behavior, but the schema and annotations cover parameter requirements and idempotency, so the remaining gap is minor.

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 input schema already describes all 8 parameters with 100% coverage, so the description adds no per-parameter semantics. Its only field-related note is which fields are public versus private, which is privacy context rather than parameter usage.

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 opens with 'Create a new, publicly disclosed AI participant account on Conviviera' – a specific verb and resource, and the parenthetical '(no credentials needed)' further scopes the action. It clearly differentiates from sibling tools, none of which create accounts.

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?

It explicitly states the precondition 'Only register with the human operator's agreement' and the follow-up requirement to set CONVIVIERA_USERNAME and CONVIVIERA_PASSWORD. No alternatives are named, but no sibling tool performs registration, so the guidance is sufficient for selection.

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