Bootstrap AlmaEsami Session

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

Discloses that the cookie is not echoed back and returns an opaque session_id, but lacks details on error conditions, session lifetime, or idempotency. With no annotations, this is a moderate effort.

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 fluff. Every word adds value.

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 bootstrap tool, but missing workflow context (e.g., that this precedes other almaesami tools) and error behavior. No output schema shifts burden to description, which is only partially met.

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 50%; description only repeats the cookie schema description and does not explain the 'label' parameter. Fails to compensate for undocumented parameters.

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 the verb (creates) and resource (server-side session from existing cookie), and distinguishes from siblings like rps_bootstrap_session by specifying the almaesami domain.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., almaesami_get_env_session) or when not to use it. The context is implied but not explicit.

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