Authenticate for admin actions

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

Describes key behaviors: opens browser, no password shared, required once. Annotations are minimal, so description carries burden. No contradiction; adds value beyond annotations.

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, front-loaded with purpose, every sentence adds value. No waste.

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?

Adequately explains purpose and when needed. Given zero parameters and no output schema, provides sufficient context for agent to know when to invoke. Could detail post-auth state, but still solid.

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?

No parameters, schema coverage 100%. Description adds no param info, but baseline is 4 for zero-parameter tools.

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?

Clearly states the tool opens a dashboard for sign-in and authorization. Distinguishes itself from sibling tools by specifying it's a prerequisite for creating currencies/tasks.

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?

Explicitly says 'Required once before creating currencies/tasks,' providing clear when-to-use context. Could hint at when already authenticated, but still strong.

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