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

No annotations, so description bears full burden. Discloses optional URL clickability but lacks details on authentication, rate limits, or delivery guarantees.

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?

Two succinct sentences, front-loaded with primary action and clear optional parameter. No wasted words.

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?

Covers core functionality and param purpose. Lacks info on return values or error handling, but acceptable for a simple tool with no output schema and straightforward params.

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 description adds value by explaining URL parameter's interactive behavior ('click to navigate'), beyond the schema's 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?

Clearly states action ('send a notification'), recipient ('current authorized user'), and optional feature ('include a URL that the user can click to navigate'). Distinguishes from siblings as the only notification tool.

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?

Implied usage: use to notify user. No explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives, though sibling context makes it clear.

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