sdcloud_send_activate_user_email

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention side effects, required permissions, rate limits, or response behavior. The tool likely sends an email, but no details on what triggers it or potential errors.

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?

The description is a single, clear sentence with no extraneous information. It efficiently conveys the tool's primary action.

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?

Given the tool has one complex parameter (object with no defined properties), no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the expected body structure, default behavior, or error conditions, making it incomplete for an agent to use 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 coverage is 100% for the one parameter 'body'. The description adds 'matching the target Security Director Cloud schema', which indicates the format is proprietary but doesn't specify fields. Baseline 3 is appropriate as it provides some extra meaning 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?

The description clearly states the tool sends an account activation email to a user. The verb 'send' and resource 'account activation email' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling user management tools like sdcloud_create_user or sdcloud_get_user.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not mention prerequisites (user must exist) or scenarios where activation email is not needed. The description implies usage for activation but lacks explicit context.

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