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

Annotations indicate readWrite behavior (readOnlyHint false), and the description confirms mutations via 'create' action. It adds context by detailing parameter dependencies per action, which annotations alone do not provide.

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 extremely concise with a brief introductory sentence and a bullet-style action list. Every sentence contributes value without redundancy.

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 tool's multiple actions and conditional parameter requirements, the description sufficiently explains each action's behavior. No output schema exists, but return values are not critical for this CRUD-like tool.

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?

Although the input schema already describes each parameter (100% coverage), the description groups parameters by action and clarifies required vs optional usage, adding meaningful guidance beyond the schema.

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 that the tool manages page comments and lists specific actions (list, get, create) with their parameters. It distinguishes the tool from siblings like 'pages' and 'blocks' by focusing on comment management.

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 provides clear context for each action, specifying required and optional parameters. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or suggest alternatives among sibling tools.

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