v3.20.1Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of explaining behavior. 'Logout' does not disclose that the current session or token will be invalidated, whether the action is destructive in any way, or what response or side effects the agent should expect.
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, but this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. A single word provides no structured, front-loaded information beyond what the tool name already communicates.
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?
With no annotations, no output schema, and a one-word description, the tool lacks essential behavioral context such as session invalidation, authentication requirements, and response behavior. The action is inferable from the name, but the definition is not complete enough for an agent to invoke it with confidence.
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?
The schema has one parameter, accept-language, with 0% schema description coverage, and the tool description does not mention it at all. An agent cannot determine the purpose, format, or allowed values of this parameter from either the schema or the description.
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 is a single word, 'Logout', which essentially restates the tool name 'create_auth_logout'. It does not specify what the logout operation affects, what an agent should expect, or how it differs from sibling auth tools like create_auth_token or create_auth_refresh.
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 about when to use this tool, whether an authenticated session is required, or how it relates to other authentication tools. The description provides no exclusions or alternatives, so an agent has to infer usage entirely from the tool name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
