-}New value: +nullv0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds only that the result is 'rows' of a plan, which hints at a read output but says nothing about format, pagination, or what happens when the plan doesn't exist.
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?
It is short, but that brevity is under-specification rather than conciseness: a single fragment that is not front-loaded with a verb or scope. Nothing would be lost by replacing it with a sentence that actually informs.
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?
For a read tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description should still explain what is returned and how plan_name selects it. That information is absent, leaving the definition incomplete in every dimension except the annotation-declared safety profile.
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 coverage is 0%, so the sole parameter plan_name (default 'current') is undocumented anywhere. The description does not clarify what a plan name is, what 'current' means, or whether omitting it is safe.
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 'Rows of a filing plan' restates the tool name rather than stating an action; it never says the tool shows/lists anything, and 'rows' is unexplained. It gives an agent almost nothing to distinguish it from siblings like plan_check, plan_review, or plan_apply.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this versus the many plan_* siblings, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. The agent must guess entirely from the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
