Configure Plone Connection

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

With no annotations, the description handles behavioral disclosure well, explaining authentication, configuration precedence, and session prerequisite. It lacks explicit mention of side effects or failure handling but is still informative.

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 concise, well-structured, and includes key elements: purpose, prerequisite, configuration options, precedence, and an example. Every sentence is useful with no waste.

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 no output schema or annotations, the description is fairly complete, covering purpose, mandatory call sequence, and configuration methods. It does not mention return values, but for a config tool this is acceptable.

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?

The input schema already fully documents each parameter (100% coverage). The description adds value by explaining environment variable fallback, precedence, and providing usage examples, going beyond schema details.

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 it 'establishes and authenticates the connection to a Plone CMS', using a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools (which focus on content operations) by being a session initialization step.

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 'Must be called once per session before other tools can be used', providing clear when-to-use guidance. It also describes configuration via arguments or environment variables with precedence rules and an example.

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