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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals authentication requirements, the HTTP method, the raw proxy nature, and parameter alias conventions, which are all useful operational details. It omits response specifics but still provides substantial transparency.

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 relatively concise at six sentences, and the primary purpose is front-loaded. Some boilerplate about path/query parameters may be irrelevant for this endpoint, slightly reducing structural efficiency.

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 tool is simple with one optional parameter and no output schema, so the description covers the essential aspects: purpose, endpoint, body handling, and auth. However, it does not differentiate from the similarly named vk_post_notifica_c728b00fdf22 sibling nor describe the response format, leaving some gaps.

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 schema describes the single body parameter as an optional JSON payload. The description adds meaningful detail about top-level fields and camelCase/snake_case aliases, going beyond the schema's basic description and enriching parameter understanding.

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 marks all notifications of a user as read, using the specific endpoint POST /notifications. This makes the tool's function unambiguous and distinguishes it from sibling tools that perform other 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?

The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions it is a raw REST proxy, but provides no exclusion criteria or alternative tool names, leaving usage decisions to the agent.

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