v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that — no note about required parent entities, no mention of non-idempotency causing duplicates on retry, and no side-effect disclosure.
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 that convey identical information — the repetition is pure waste rather than concision. Nothing is front-loaded because there is no content to front-load.
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 a mutation tool taking a nested object body with three required fields and no output schema, the description should explain required parent identifiers and draft semantics. It says nothing, leaving the agent dependent entirely on the schema.
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 reported as 0% at the top level; the single 'body' parameter has no description, and its nested required fields (test_case_id, test_run_id, draft) are only annotated inside the schema. The description supplies zero parameter meaning, so it fails to compensate for the coverage gap.
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 only restates the tool name twice ('Create a test result. Create a new test result.'). It is a tautology that names no distinguishing scope, target resource type, or difference from siblings such as put_test_result or post_test_run.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus post_issue_test_results, post_test_run_test_results, or put_test_result, nor any stated prerequisite such as needing an existing test run and test case. The agent is left to infer everything.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
