ifcx_validate_tier_tables

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

No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral aspects such as whether validation is read-only, requires specific permissions, or produces side effects. The minimal description leaves the agent guessing.

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 with no redundancy, but it is too brief to be optimally informative. It achieves conciseness at the cost of missing essential details.

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 no output schema, no annotations, and many sibling validation tools, the description fails to explain what 'tier table counts' are, what the output looks like, or how it differs from other validations. It is incomplete for an agent to reliably select and use this tool.

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?

The input schema has one parameter (sessionId) with no description, and the tool description only implies that the session ID relates to a draft but does not clarify its format or purpose. With 0% schema coverage, the description should compensate but does not.

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 (validate) and the resource (generated tier table counts for a draft), which differentiates it from sibling validation tools like ifcx_validate_draft or ifcx_validate_created_model. However, 'tier table counts' is somewhat vague without further context.

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 versus alternatives like ifcx_validate_draft or ifcx_validate_created_model. There is no explanation of prerequisites or context for validation.

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