close_workbook

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

No annotations provided, and description omits behavioral details such as side effects of closure, behavior on invalid session ID, or whether the operation is reversible.

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?

Description is short and efficient, using a single line for purpose and separate lines for args and returns without unnecessary verbosity.

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?

Adequate for a simple close operation given an output schema exists, but lacks guidance on error handling or prerequisites for use.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, description clarifies each parameter: session_id is 'Session ID from open_workbook' and save is 'Whether to save changes (default: True)', adding essential meaning beyond the schema.

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?

Description clearly states 'Close a workbook session', specifying the verb 'close' and resource 'workbook session', which is distinct from siblings like 'open_workbook' or 'force_close_workbook_by_path_tool'.

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?

Implies usage after open_workbook, but does not explicitly mention prerequisites or contrast with alternatives like force_close for handling stalled sessions.

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