finalize_analysis_brief

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. However, it only states the input sources without explaining what 'finalize' entails (e.g., whether it overwrites existing data, triggers side effects, or requires a specific run state).

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, short sentence that conveys the core purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and easy to parse.

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 the tool's complexity (3 parameters, output schema exists), the description is somewhat complete but lacks details on parameter usage and the finalization process. The output schema may compensate, but the description itself does not clarify what the tool returns.

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%, but the description adds some context by naming the two optional parameters ('user_answers_json' and 'markdown_path') as sources for the finalization. However, it does not explain the required 'run_id' or the semantics of each parameter.

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-resource combination ('finalize analysis_brief') and mentions two distinct input sources ('chat overrides' or 'edited Markdown review file'). This clearly indicates the tool's purpose and distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'build_analysis_brief'.

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 does not specify when to use this tool versus other sibling tools (e.g., 'build_analysis_brief', 'confirm_authoring_stage'). It provides no context about prerequisites or conditions under which the tool should be invoked.

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