telegram-close-poll

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

Discloses the irreversible nature of the operation. Annotations indicate non-read-only, and description adds the key behavioral fact that reopening is impossible.

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?

Two short, direct sentences with no unnecessary information. Every word adds value.

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 simple operation (close poll) with only two parameters and no output schema, the description is fully complete. It covers purpose, irreversibility, and need for chat and message IDs.

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 parameters are well-described in the schema. Description adds no additional detail beyond what schema provides.

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 specific verb 'Close' and resource 'poll', clearly stating the action and its permanent nature. It distinguishes from siblings like vote-poll and create-poll.

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?

Explicitly states it is a one-way operation and that closed polls cannot be reopened, providing clear guidance on when to use and not use. Does not explicitly name alternatives but contextually sufficient.

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