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

With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden. It does note the required 'Manage Flow' scope on the token, which is useful, but it does not describe side effects, approval process, response format, or other behavioral traits.

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 brief and includes a direct link and endpoint reference. The bracket notation and multiple URLs add slight clutter, but it remains appropriately sized.

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 creation tool with 4 required parameters and no output schema, the description is thin. It lacks information about return values, template approval expectations, and parameter format details, making it incomplete for confident invocation without external lookup.

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 only 50% (name and components have descriptions, category and language don't). The description adds no parameter details and merely points to the Facebook docs via a link, leaving the agent without guidance on category/language values.

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 states 'Create Whatsapp template' with a specific verb and resource, and references the exact API endpoint, clearly distinguishing it from sibling list/delete/sync tools.

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?

No explicit when-to-use guidance or alternatives are provided. The description does not mention related template tools or conditions for choosing this over broadcast/list/delete tools.

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