Load session as context

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the content is injected as conversation context and is token-sized, which is meaningful beyond the annotations, but it does not restate the elision behavior (that lives in the schema) or note auth/library prerequisites.

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 with a tight parenthetical covering id provenance; the tool's action and its sizing behavior appear before any qualifier. Nothing extraneous.

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 output schema, the description does not need to explain return values, and annotations carry the read-only/idempotent profile. The one remaining gap is the undocumented `version` parameter and no explicit statement of what happens on a missing or unauthorized id, but the essentials for correct invocation are present.

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 75%, so the schema already documents id, max_tokens, and include_tool_calls; only version is undocumented in both places. The description echoes max_tokens sizing but adds no syntax, format, or default guidance beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 states a specific verb+resource (load a session from your library) and the effect (as starting context for this conversation), plus the sizing constraint (max_tokens). It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like get_session_summary (summary only), search_sessions (discovery), and acquire_session (which adds sessions to the library).

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 explains the provenance of the id (saved sessions or the library_id returned by acquire_session), which gives the agent context for when this tool applies. It stops short of explicit when-not guidance or naming a competing tool to prefer instead, so it is clear context without exclusions.

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