C2.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already indicate this is not read-only, not destructive, and closed-world, which is consistent with "Write Markdown summary." The description adds useful scope by saying the summary covers engine evidence rather than original source. However, it does not disclose where the summary is written, whether existing summaries are overwritten, or what permissions or job state are required.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler, and the action is easy to identify. It is very terse, but conciseness itself is strong.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a write-style tool with no output schema and an undocumented required parameter, the description is too thin. It does not explain where the Markdown summary goes, how it can be retrieved, or what job_id must identify, leaving important operational details missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema has 0% description coverage and the description never mentions job_id. The parameter is only weakly inferable from the tool name, and the description does not explain what a job ID represents or how to obtain one.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific action and output: write a Markdown summary of engine evidence. It also clarifies a meaningful scope boundary by saying this is not the original source. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings, but the purpose is understandable.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as read_artifact or analyze_apk. The phrase "not original source" hints at a content boundary, but it does not tell the agent which situations call for summarize_job or what prerequisites are required.

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