Bootstrap Session

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

No annotations provided. Description implies mutation ('creates') but does not disclose side effects, permissions, idempotency, or what 'server-side session' entails. Agent is left guessing about safety and state changes.

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?

Single sentence, no wasted words. But it is too brief and lacks structure for a 4-param tool. Conciseness is okay, but at the expense of completeness.

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 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely lacking. It does not explain return value, error behavior, or how the session is used afterwards. Completely insufficient for an agent to use correctly.

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 0%. Description only mentions the two required params (sesskey, cookies) in purpose but does not explain email_label or include_cookie_header. No additional meaning beyond property names.

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 verb 'creates' and resource 'server-side session' with inputs 'sesskey and cookie header'. However, among siblings like almaesami_bootstrap_session, rps_bootstrap_session, and sol_bootstrap_session, it does not differentiate what makes this one specific to virtuale.

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 vs alternatives. There are many sibling bootstrap_session tools but no context about prerequisites or use cases.

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