Requesting a quote

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

Annotations indicate destructive hint, but description does not explain what 'destructive' means here (e.g., creates a request that cannot be undone). The dry_run and confirm parameters imply a two-step process, but this is not disclosed in the description.

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?

Description is very short (2 sentences) and gets to the point. However, it is borderline under-specified; a bit more detail would be welcome without becoming verbose.

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?

Given the nested object parameter, output schema existence, and destructive nature, the description lacks context on how to use the tool effectively (e.g., what the output contains, how dry_run works).

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 100% with clear parameter descriptions. The description adds no extra meaning, but also doesn't mislead. This meets the baseline for highly covered schemas.

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 states 'Sends a quote request to the Action1 Sales department,' clearly identifying the action and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like closure or trial requests, but could be more specific about the quote type.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites, when to use dry_run, or how it differs from other enterprise request tools.

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