skip_naming

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

The annotations already indicate this is a non-read-only, non-idempotent operation, so the description adds useful behavioral detail by explaining that a 409 response means the job exists but is no longer awaiting naming. It does not disclose auth requirements, but the error-state semantics go beyond the structured annotations.

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 two concise sentences with no wasted words. The main effect is front-loaded, and the 409 detail follows as a useful secondary point.

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 one-parameter action tool with annotations and full schema coverage, the description covers the core action and one notable error state. It remains thin on workflow context, particularly how this tool relates to sibling tools such as confirm_naming and get_naming.

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 100%, and the single parameter jobID is already defined as 'The job awaiting speaker naming.' The description does not add any syntax, format, or additional meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 a specific effect — allowing a job to finish using the app-assigned speaker names — which is a clear skip-naming action. It is understandable apart from the tool name, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with similar naming tools like confirm_naming.

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 implies the tool is used when the caller wants to accept auto-assigned names, but it gives no explicit when-to-use condition or alternative. It also does not tell the agent when to use confirm_naming or get_naming instead.

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