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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Discloses multipart upload lifecycle (create→chunk→complete), return value semantics (uploadId, 72h validity), reusability pattern, and supported formats. Lacks explicit error handling or rate limit disclosure, but otherwise comprehensive.

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?

Four efficient sentences: purpose first, multipart mechanics second, return value lifecycle third, format constraints fourth. No repetition of schema structure or tautology. Information density is high with zero waste.

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?

Compensates for missing output schema by documenting the key return value (uploadId) and its temporal validity (72h). Explains workflow integration with job-related siblings. Format coverage is comprehensive. No gaps given the tool's complexity.

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 has 100% coverage (filePath fully self-documenting), establishing baseline 3. Description adds critical semantic constraints—specifically the supported format list (WAV, FLAC, etc.)—which defines valid inputs for the filePath parameter beyond the schema's generic 'absolute path' description.

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?

Specific verb 'Upload' with clear resource 'local audio/video/text file' and destination 'Gaudio servers'. Distinguishes from job management siblings (create_job, get_job) by being the file ingestion step, and explicitly notes the uploadId is used 'across multiple jobs' clarifying workflow relationship.

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?

Provides clear context that the returned uploadId is reusable across multiple jobs, implicitly positioning this as a prerequisite step before job creation. Missing explicit 'when not to use' (e.g., for already-hosted files) or named alternatives, but the sibling relationship is clear.

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