complete_a_task

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

The description indicates a state change but does not disclose specifics: what happens to the task (e.g., marked as done, archived), whether it is reversible, or any side effects. With no annotations, this is insufficient.

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 short, but the bilingual phrasing may be confusing. It front-loads the action but lacks concise clarity.

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 simple tool with no output schema, the description omits crucial details: return value, success/failure behavior, and handling of edge cases (e.g., already completed tasks).

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 description barely adds meaning beyond the schema. It names the parameters (name, listname) but 'listname' does not match the schema's 'list'. No clarification of values or constraints. Schema coverage is 0%.

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 (complete/terminate) and the resource (task). It distinguishes from siblings like start_a_task and delete_a_task, though the parameter name mismatch ('listname' vs 'list') slightly reduces clarity.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like delete_a_task or start_a_task. The description lacks context for an agent to decide appropriately.

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