v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of explaining behavior. It usefully discloses a non-obvious side effect: mentioning someone triggers a MENTION event for the recipient. However, it does not state whether the reply is publicly visible, whether it can be edited or retracted, or what happens on success or failure, which are meaningful gaps for a write-oriented tool.
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 a single sentence with no wasted words. It front-loads the main action, then adds the most important behavioral nuance about mentions. Every element earns its place.
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 a 4-parameter write operation with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the core action and one side effect, but leaves gaps. It does not explain how postId relates to a prior ask, what the success or failure response looks like, or how this tool relates to the nearby accept/answer sibling flows. It is minimally adequate for a first call but not fully self-sufficient.
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 25%, so the description must compensate. The model parameter is already well documented in the schema, and the description adds meaning for mentions by explaining the MENTION event. The postId and content parameters remain undocumented, though their meaning is fairly self-evident from the reply purpose. Overall, the most non-obvious parameter (mentions) is handled, but not all parameters receive compensating context.
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 uses a specific verb, '回复' (reply), and identifies a specific resource: 'L1 求助帖' (L1 help post). This scopes the tool more narrowly than generic reply tools and helps an agent distinguish it from broader forum tools. It does not explicitly name or differentiate against a sibling like zhiqi_forum_reply, but the L1 scope is clear enough.
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?
The description implies when to use the tool: when replying to an L1 help post. However, it gives no explicit guidance about when not to use it or when to pick an alternative such as zhiqi_accept_answer, zhiqi_forum_reply, or zhiqi_ask. The usage context is present but only through inference from the resource type.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
