app_store_version_release_requests__create

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

Annotations provide no read-only, idempotent, or destructive hints. Description mentions POST but adds little beyond that—no disclosure of side effects, state changes, or requirements. Minimal context beyond the endpoint.

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?

Extremely concise: one sentence plus the endpoint. No unnecessary information; every word earns its place.

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?

No output schema exists, but the tool is simple. The description fails to mention what the response contains (e.g., the created release request object). Minimal, but adequate for a straightforward creation endpoint.

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 100%, with detailed nested object definitions. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 verb 'release' and the resource 'a version that was approved and is waiting for developer release'. Distinguishes from siblings like phased releases or other version-related tools by specifying the exact state and action.

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 clear context: only for versions that are approved and waiting for developer release. Does not explicitly list when not to use or alternatives, but the condition is precise enough for an agent to infer correct usage.

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