Group All Unmanifested Consignments for Manifest

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

Description adds minimal value beyond annotations. 'Preview before manifesting' aligns with readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description is consistent, but lacks details on scope or 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?

Two-line description with main sentence and args line. Front-loaded, no filler, every sentence is necessary.

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 single-param tool with annotations and no output schema, the description is adequate. Could describe 'manifest groups' outcome format, but not critical for a preview operation.

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%, and description just repeats the schema's parameter info (companyId: Company ID). No additional semantic meaning provided.

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 title and description clearly state the verb (groups), resource (ALL unmanifested consignments), and outcome (into manifest groups, preview). It distinguishes from the sibling 'group_consignments_for_manifest' by emphasizing 'ALL'.

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?

Implies use before manifesting but does not explicitly state when to use this vs the sibling tool 'machship_group_consignments_for_manifest' for specific consignments. No when-not-to or alternative guidance.

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