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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It implies a mutation ('Disable'), but lacks details on permissions, side effects, reversibility, or system impact. For a tool that likely changes system state, this is insufficient behavioral disclosure.

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, direct sentence with no wasted words, making it highly concise and front-loaded. It efficiently communicates the core action without unnecessary elaboration.

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 complexity (2 parameters, nested object, no output schema, no annotations), the description is inadequate. It lacks parameter details, behavioral context, usage guidelines, and output information, making it incomplete for effective tool invocation.

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%, and the description provides no parameter information. It doesn't explain what 'id' refers to (e.g., extent identifier) or what 'body' might contain, leaving both parameters undocumented and unclear in meaning.

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 action ('Disable sealed mode') and the target resource ('on a SOBR extent'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from its sibling 'EnableScaleOutExtentSealedMode' beyond the opposite action, missing explicit differentiation about when each should be used.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or context. The description is a simple statement of function without indicating scenarios, conditions, or related tools like 'EnableScaleOutExtentSealedMode' or 'DisableScaleOutExtentMaintenanceMode'.

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