Sync Newsletters

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

No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. Mentions prerequisite of a 'connected WhatsApp session' but omits side effects (e.g., whether it creates new records, overwrites, or is reversible). Lacks details on permissions or error states.

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 sentences, no fluff. First sentence clearly states action and resource, second adds useful context. Efficient and front-loaded.

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?

Adequate for a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, but lacks mention of return values, prerequisites (beyond hint), and failure cases. Could better distinguish from similar sibling tools like 'neuron_refresh_newsletter'.

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 coverage is 100% for the single parameter 'channelId', which is fully described in the schema. The description does not add any additional meaning or context 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?

Description states verb 'Sync/import' and resource 'WhatsApp Channels' into Neuron, with additional context about discovering external channels. However, there is slight ambiguity between 'newsletters' (in name) and 'WhatsApp Channels' (in description), which could cause confusion.

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 use when channels are created outside Neuron, but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives such as 'neuron_create_newsletter' or 'neuron_list_newsletters'. No exclusions or comparative guidance.

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