mark_notification_read

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

No annotations provided. Description only notes API key requirement and marking as read, but fails to disclose if the operation is idempotent, reversible, or has side effects.

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 with no fluff, but the brevity comes at the cost of missing important 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?

Lacks output schema, annotations, and parameter descriptions. Does not cover error handling, return values, or behavioral constraints, making it insufficient for an agent to use correctly.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the 'id' parameter (e.g., what it refers to, format, or source).

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?

Clearly states the tool marks a single notification as read. The verb 'Mark' and resource 'notification' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling 'mark_all_notifications_read'.

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?

Mentions requirement of IWMM_API_KEY but lacks guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'mark_all_notifications_read'.

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