app_store_version_release_requests__create

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the write/safety profile is known. The description adds that this is a RELEASE-level write that publishes immediately, but it does not discuss irreversibility or downstream effects on the live listing.

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 action and precondition are front-loaded, and the endpoint is useful. However, the first two clauses are redundant ('Release the version immediately' vs. 'publish an approved App Store version right now'), and there is an awkward phrase: 'Only for one Apple has already approved.'

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-parameter create with full schema coverage, the description plus annotations give enough context to invoke correctly: the precondition, the action, the endpoint, and the write-level severity. No output schema exists, but return values are not essential for selecting or calling the tool.

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%, so the nested body structure is already documented. The description adds real semantic value by indicating the appStoreVersion.id should reference an approved version that is waiting on manual release, which the raw schema does not convey.

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?

Identifies a specific verb and resource: release an approved App Store version immediately. It also distinguishes itself from the submission workflow with 'manual release button, not the submission,' which helps separate it from related but different operations.

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?

Provides a clear precondition: only for versions Apple has already approved and that are waiting on manual release. It also gives an exclusion ('not the submission'), though it does not name an alternative sibling tool such as release__submit.

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