delimit_gov_new_task

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

The description indicates a mutation ('Create'), but provides no details on side effects, permissions, or safety. With no annotations present, the description carries full burden and fails to disclose behavioral traits.

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 extremely short (4 words), which is concise but lacks structure and fails to provide essential information. It does not front-load key details beyond the name.

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 4 parameters with no descriptions and an output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return values, usage context, or what constitutes a governance task.

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?

None of the 4 parameters are described in the schema or in the description. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, leaving the agent with no clue about what each parameter does.

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 'Create a new governance task (Pro)' clearly states the action and object, but lacks detail on what a governance task is and how it differs from sibling tools like delimit_gov_evaluate or delimit_task_complete. The '(Pro)' suffix suggests a restriction but is unexplained.

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. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or when not to use it, making it hard for an agent to choose correctly.

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