customer_review_responses__create

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

Annotations indicate creation (not read-only, not idempotent). Description adds the behavioral constraint of one response per review, which is beyond annotation info. No contradictions.

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, no wasted words. Front-loaded with verb and resource. Extremely concise.

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?

Given the nested schema and no output schema, the description provides the constraint and update alternative. Lacks detail on return value or side effects, but overall adequate for a creation 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% and fully documents the nested body parameter. Description does not add additional semantics beyond the schema, which is acceptable. Baseline 3 applies.

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 clearly states the action (publish a developer response) and the resource (customer review). It distinguishes from the sibling 'update' tool by noting the one-response-per-review constraint. Includes HTTP method for clarity.

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 tells when to use this tool: to create a response, and when to use update: to change it. The one-response constraint guides usage. Could add prerequisites like needing the review ID, but sufficient.

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