Add library items

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

Annotations already flag this as non-read-only, destructive and open-world, and the description explains why: queued items publish automatically at schedule_times, i.e. the write leaves the system. It also adds two facts annotations cannot convey — the 20-item cap and that each text is validated against the account's content_rules. It stops short of stating failure behavior (what happens when content_rules rejects an item) or that calls are non-idempotent.

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 first two sentences are dense and front-loaded with the useful facts: batch cap, item shape, status behavior, content_rules validation. The final sentence is a dangling, ungrammatical fragment that repeats the status question already answered and dilutes the message rather than earning its place.

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 3-parameter mutation tool with no output schema, the definition covers the important ground: what can be added, the batch limit, validation against content_rules, and the publish timing tied to schedules. Gaps are the return shape after a partial failure and the non-idempotency already declared in annotations but never explained in prose.

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%, so the baseline is 3, but the description goes beyond the schema by defining the operational consequence of the status enum (queued = publishes at schedule_times; draft = waits for approval) and by clarifying that media_urls must be public https images. That converts a bare enum label into actionable semantics.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Adds up to 20 items ... to an account's library') and enumerates the item shape (text, optional public https images) plus the two statuses. Sibling tools like update_library_item or bulk_queue_library are not named, so the boundary is left implicit, but the batch-add semantics are unmistakable.

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 status sentence implies when to choose queued (auto-publishes at schedule_times) versus draft (waits for approval), which is genuine selection guidance. However, the closing clause ('Applies after drafts are approved by the user and should enter the daily publishing queue, or should be parked as drafts') is garbled and reads as a truncated fragment, and no sibling alternative is ever named.

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