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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden and does disclose that this is a MANAGER WRITE, requires all identities, and is limited to three actions (expose callback, authorize successor, re-arm attempt) and never accepts/relaunches. It does not state permissions or reversibility, but the behavioral boundaries are clearly conveyed.

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 a clear label and purpose, then uses three sentences to cover requirements, allowed actions, and guardrails. It is dense but efficient; no sentence is wasted, though the jargon may hinder quick parsing.

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 9-parameter mutation with no annotations and an output schema, the description covers purpose and high-level behavior but omits parameter-level guidance and explicit usage comparisons. An agent would still need to infer the meaning of several identifiers and the selection criteria for each decision.

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 coverage is 0%, and the description only asserts that chain, candidate, and retired-attempt identities are mandatory, without explaining what each of the 9 parameters represents or how to choose among the decision enum values. This is insufficient compensation for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 states a specific verb ('resolve') and resource ('durable reviewer-route hold'), and distinguishes the action from acceptance/relaunch. However, it does not explicitly name sibling tools or contrast with them, leaving some ambiguity despite the detailed scope.

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 implies use when a durable reviewer-route hold exists, but offers no explicit when/when-not guidance or alternative tools. The exclusion ('never accepts the target') is useful but not framed as a routing rule.

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