Clear an Operations lane's human action

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

Annotations already declare a non-read-only, idempotent, non-destructive mutation, and the description is consistent with them. It adds the useful effect that the operator's visible list shrinks, but it does not say whether clearing is reversible, whether it requires the action to still be open, or how errors are reported.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the action and its effect; there is no filler. The closing line about whose job clearing is is motivational rather than operational, but it is short enough not to crowd out the core statement.

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?

With no output schema and two parameters, the essential operation is covered, but an idempotent mutation should state what happens when there is nothing to clear, and whether the agent can clear another agent's pending human action.

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 only 50%: agent_id has no description at all, and lane is documented only with an example ref format. The description says nothing about either parameter, not even that lane selects which human action gets cleared, so it does not compensate for the schema gap.

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?

States a concrete verb-and-resource pair: mark a human action resolved. That is clearly distinct from siblings like raise_human_action or claim_lane. It never names raise_human_action, the inverse operation, so the agent must infer the pairing.

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?

"once it is done" gives a trigger condition for clearing. "Clearing is your job, not theirs" tells you who performs the action but not when to skip it, and it never points at raise_human_action or explains what happens if the action is not yet resolved.

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