Test Webhook

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

Annotations provide key behavioral hints (non-read-only, open-world, idempotent, non-destructive), and the description adds value by specifying the action is for testing and verification. It doesn't contradict annotations, and it offers context beyond them, though it could mention more about response handling or error conditions.

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, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action and purpose with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.

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 tool's moderate complexity (2 parameters, no output schema), annotations cover safety and behavior well, and the description adds testing context. However, it lacks details on expected responses, error handling, or integration with sibling tools, leaving some gaps in completeness.

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 description coverage is 100%, with clear parameter documentation in the schema. The description adds minimal semantics by implying 'webhook_id' identifies the endpoint and 'payload' is optional test data, but this mostly repeats schema info. Baseline 3 is appropriate given high schema coverage.

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 the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('send') and resource ('test payload to a webhook endpoint'), and it distinguishes the verification intent. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'dual_update_webhook' or 'dual_get_webhook', which slightly reduces clarity.

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 usage for verification ('to verify it's working'), providing some context, but it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'dual_update_webhook' for configuration or 'dual_get_webhook' for status checks. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.

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