mureo_state_report_set

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Discloses atomic persistence, preservation of other report kinds, best-effort behavior when MCP is unavailable, and the return value (updated state document). This is substantial and goes beyond a simple purpose statement.

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?

Description is moderately long but front-loaded with purpose, then covers parameter semantics and behavioral details. Each sentence contributes meaningful information without fluff. The structure is logical and easy to scan.

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?

Combined with a rich schema (enum, nested object details, path constraints), the description explains purpose, behavior, and return value. No output schema, but return is mentioned. Missing explicit permission details, but not critical for this MCP context. Overall complete for the tool's complexity.

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 covers all parameters with detailed descriptions (enum values, summary structure, path restrictions). The description adds a brief overview of summary conventions but mostly repeats what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate because schema does the heavy lifting for parameter semantics.

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?

Specific verb+resource: 'Atomically persist a structured analysis report summary into STATE.json's reports section'. Clearly distinguishes from sibling state tools by targeting report summaries for the read-only dashboard. Unambiguous and immediately conveys the tool's function.

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?

States when to use: to persist daily/weekly/goal report summaries so the dashboard can render without re-running the agent. Also gives behavioral context with 'best-effort' guidance to skip silently when MCP is unavailable. Does not explicitly name alternative tools or exclusions, but the intended use case is clear.

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