link_moment_to_task

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'associate', implying a mutation, but does not explain whether the operation is additive, reversible, requires permissions, or produces any output. This is insufficient for a tool that modifies relationships.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. It efficiently communicates the core purpose, though the brevity leaves other dimensions under-specified.

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 low-complexity tool with 2 simple parameters and no output schema, some minimal explanation might suffice, but this description is too thin. It does not clarify the semantics of 'associate' (e.g., does it create a link, update a reference?), nor does it address any behavioral details. The absence of annotations makes this a clear gap.

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 each parameter ('moment_id', 'task_id') having a basic one-line description. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 'Associate a moment with a task' uses a clear verb ('Associate') and states the two resources involved (moment, task). It is distinct from sibling 'link_moments' (which links two moments) and 'assign_task' (which likely assigns to a person), though it does not explicitly call out these alternatives.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'assign_task', 'link_moments', or 'supersede_moment'. The description gives no context on prerequisites, typical use cases, or when to avoid it.

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