eudr_send_telegram_alert

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It states the action (dispatch to Telegram) but omits side effects, error behavior, or any operational constraints. This is insufficient for a tool that performs an external notification.

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?

One concise sentence, front-loaded with the action, no filler. Efficient.

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?

Despite being a simple tool, the lack of usage guidance and behavioral detail makes it incomplete for an agent to correctly decide when to invoke it and what to expect. The output schema absence also means the description should clarify return values, which it doesn't.

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% and the description adds no parameter semantics beyond what's already documented. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 uses a specific verb 'Dispatches' and names three distinct alert categories (compliance alert, post-2020 deforestation warning, TRACES-NT clearance notice), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like eudr_check_deforestation or eudr_generate_dds, which have different purposes.

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 explicit when-to-use guidance is provided. The description implies it's for sending alerts to Telegram, but doesn't contrast with alternatives or state prerequisites, so an agent must infer when to choose it.

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