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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions authentication is required, that the endpoint usually does not require a request body, and explains parameter aliases. These go beyond a bare description, though it does not discuss error handling or exact response structure. For a simple GET status endpoint, this is sufficient.

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 front-loaded with the purpose and includes relevant endpoint and usage context. It contains some boilerplate about parameter handling that is not strictly necessary for a no-parameter tool, but it remains concise and readable.

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 zero-parameter, no-output-schema status endpoint, the description covers purpose, specific endpoint, return semantics, use case, and authentication. It is complete and leaves no critical gap for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.

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 zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds context about 'path and query parameters are top-level fields' and camelCase/snake_case aliases, which is helpful even though no parameters are currently defined. Schema coverage is 100%, so nothing is missing.

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 'Get migration status' and precisely identifies the endpoint as 'GET /migration/trello/status'. It explains what the tool returns ('if the current user already did the migation or not'), which distinguishes it from the many sibling migration tools that likely target different endpoints or operations.

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?

It provides a concrete use case: 'useful to show a confirmation message in the frontend if the user is trying to do the same migration again.' However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or how it compares to the various other migration-related sibling tools, so it lacks explicit exclusions/alternatives.

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