score_workflow

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 states the endpoint and operation name, failing to mention auth requirements, rate limits, side effects (e.g., quota consumption), or response characteristics. The behavior is almost entirely opaque.

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 verb and resource, and includes the endpoint for quick identification. While it is concise, it is somewhat under-specified, but conciseness itself is handled well.

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?

Despite having an output schema and a moderately complex input (nested objects, required workflow/payload), the description does not explain how the parameters relate, when this tool is preferred over siblings, or what makes it 'unified'. The information is insufficient for a 3-parameter tool with no parameter descriptions.

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 has 0% description coverage and the description adds no parameter information. The meaning of 'workflow', 'payload', and 'options' is completely unexplained, and the description does not compensate for this gap despite having three parameters, two of which are required.

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 action ('Call') and the resource ('Sentinel Signal unified workflow scoring') with a specific endpoint (POST /v1/score). It is clear but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like score_batch, so it lacks full sibling distinction.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as score_batch or validate_workflow_payload. There is no mention of prerequisites, typical use cases, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer when to invoke it.

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