telegram-ban-user

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

The description adds context beyond annotations: 'permanent until unbanned' indicates irreversibility without a follow-up action. No contradictions with annotations (readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true). However, it doesn't disclose potential side effects like message removal or permission requirements.

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?

A single sentence that is direct and front-loaded with the essential action. No unnecessary words or information.

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 two required parameters and no output schema, the description covers the basic action. However, given the sibling tools, a brief note differentiating from kick-user or block-user would improve completeness.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds no additional meaning or context beyond the schema, meeting the baseline for full schema coverage.

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 ('Ban a user'), the resource ('user'), and the scope ('supergroup or channel, permanent until unbanned'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'telegram-kick-user' and 'telegram-unban-user'.

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?

The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as kick-user or block-user. No 'when to use' or 'when not to use' advice is given.

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