Assess Salesforce Permission Risk

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

Annotations indicate read-only behavior, and the description aligns with that by using 'review'. It adds useful context about the focus (broad access and least-privilege) beyond the bare annotation, which helps the agent understand the tool's purpose without overexplaining.

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 a single, focused sentence with no redundant words. It immediately conveys the primary action and intent, making it easy to parse and understand.

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?

The description gives a clear purpose but omits details about input/output behavior, such as what the tool returns or how to interpret results. Given that an output schema exists, the description does not need to elaborate on return, but it could mention expected usage patterns or any prerequisites. It is adequate but not thorough.

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 description offers minimal insight into the 'changes' parameter. It implies that 'changes' are permission changes, but does not explain the structure, required fields, or enums present in the schema. Since schema coverage from the description is 0%, the description does not compensate for the lack of parameter documentation.

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 a specific action ('review') and a specific subject ('synthetic permission changes') with a clear objective ('broad access and least-privilege concerns'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'analyze_deployment_log' and 'validate_metadata_manifest' which focus on other aspects.

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 implies when to use the tool (when reviewing permission changes for broad access and least-privilege) but does not explicitly contrast it with alternatives or state exclusion criteria. The sibling tools are not mentioned, so an agent might not know whether to pick this over 'build_remediation_plan' without additional context.

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