app_recovery_deploy

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It only says 'deploy,' omitting behavioral traits like whether it pushes to users immediately, triggers notifications, is reversible, or requires special permissions. This is insufficient for an agent to understand side effects.

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 one short sentence, which is concise but at the cost of clarity and completeness. It lacks structure and detail, making it borderline under-specified for a deployment 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 context of multiple app_recovery sibling tools, no output schema, and no annotations, this description is incomplete. An agent would lack understanding of prerequisites, return values, and lifecycle sequencing (e.g., must create and target before deploy).

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 50% (only packageName has an example). The description adds no additional meaning to parameters. It does not explain appRecoveryId's purpose or where to obtain it, leaving the agent with incomplete understanding.

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 'Deploy an app recovery action to users,' clearly indicating the verb 'deploy' and the resource 'app recovery action.' It distinguishes from sibling tools like create, add_targeting, cancel, and list through the verb choice, but does not explain how deploy differs from update or activate.

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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not specify when to use this tool versus siblings, such as needing an existing appRecoveryId after creation, or that targeting should precede deployment.

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