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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses auto-incrementing version behavior, the constraint that version must be current+1, the requirement to not re-escape entities, and optional reparenting. However, it omits failure modes or response details.

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?

Three sentences, each with value: purpose and auth, version behavior, content handling and optional parentId. No redundant words, front-loaded with key information.

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?

Missing output schema and no mention of return values or success/error behavior. For a tool with 6 parameters and no annotations, the description should at least hint at what the response contains (e.g., updated page, version number). This gap reduces completeness.

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 100%, but the description adds meaningful behavioral context for version (auto-bump rule) and parentId (reparenting). It also warns about not re-escaping file content. This adds value beyond the schema descriptions.

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 clearly states the tool publishes page body from a local storage XML file via the Confluence proxy, using specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes from sibling tools like movePage and getStorageToFile, which have different purposes.

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 usage for updating page body from storage XML but does not explicitly guide when to use this tool versus alternatives like getStorageToFile or template tools. No exclusion criteria or when-not advice is provided.

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