Create an inbox dismissal or snooze

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

Annotations already indicate the tool is not read-only or destructive (readOnlyHint: false, destructiveHint: false). The description adds the authorization class and HTTP method, but does not disclose other behavioral traits such as side effects or rate limits. The bar is lowered due to annotations, so score 3 is appropriate.

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 short but includes redundant information (Paperclip operation path) that could be omitted. It does not earn each sentence; the first line is sufficient, and the second line adds little value.

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 lacks explanation of the difference between dismiss and snooze, or what conditions warrant each. While an output schema exists, the tool's behavior and decision-making context are missing.

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 0%, and the description does not explain any parameters. The agent must rely solely on the schema for parameter meaning, which is insufficient for a 2-parameter tool with nested objects.

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 ('Create') and the resource ('inbox dismissal or snooze'), with a distinct purpose compared to sibling tools for getting or deleting inbox dismissals.

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 dismiss vs snooze, or when to use GET/DELETE variants. The description only states the operation and authorization class without contextual usage advice.

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