Complete Todo

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

The description discloses that completing also removes the todo from the list, which is a behavioral trait beyond the basic 'complete' action. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full transparency burden; it is mostly adequate, though it does not mention reversibility or return behavior.

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, front-loaded sentence that conveys the essential action and effect with no wasted words. It is appropriately concise and structured.

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 simple one-parameter schema and the existence of an output schema, the description is largely complete for the operation. A minor gap is the lack of explicit distinction from panelTodo_remove, which could enhance contextual 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% with a clear description for the only parameter 'id'. The tool description adds no additional information about the parameter beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline score of 3 applies.

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 'mark' with resource 'todo' and explicitly states the effect 'complete and remove it from the list'. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like panelTodo_remove, which only removes without completing.

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 explicit when-to-use or alternative guidance is provided. The phrase 'complete and remove' implies a contrast with panelTodo_remove, but it does not directly name alternatives or state when to use this tool over them.

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