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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It says 'validate whether...safe' but does not disclose if the tool is read-only, modifies state, requires authentication, or what 'safe' means. Minimal behavioral context beyond the core action.

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 sentence, concise and front-loaded with the core purpose. However, it could be more structured (e.g., listing parameters or usage context) to compensate for missing schema descriptions.

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 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is grossly incomplete. It fails to explain return values, parameter formats, safety criteria, or any preconditions, leaving the agent unable to use the tool reliably.

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%, yet the description adds no parameter explanations. Only 'seed graph nodes' hints at seed_node_ids, but scan_space, materialized_view_id, and proposed_change_summary remain entirely opaque, severely limiting correct invocation.

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 states the tool validates safety of a proposed change scope, which is a specific verb+resource. It differentiates from sibling tools like 'codelogic-graph-impact' by focusing on validation vs. impact analysis, though no explicit alternative guidance is given.

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 on when to use this tool vs alternatives. It mentions 'seed graph nodes' and 'curated HTTP API' but does not specify prerequisites or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer context.

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