brainstorm_respond

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

The description says 'Submit' and 'call' implying a write operation, but the annotation readOnlyHint: true indicates read-only. This contradiction makes the score 1 per instructions.

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 moderately concise, front-loads the main purpose, but includes instructional details (like 'Read all responses carefully') that could be trimmed without losing clarity.

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?

Given the schema descriptions, the description provides sufficient context on when to use the tool and what to do, though it does not address edge cases like multiple calls or error handling.

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 already provides descriptions for both session_id and response, and the description adds contextual flavor (e.g., 'substantive contribution') but no new semantic information beyond the schema.

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?

Clearly states the tool submits Claude's response for the current round, and distinguishes from siblings by referencing the brainstorm tool and the condition after external models return.

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?

Explicitly says to call this tool after the brainstorm tool returns external models' responses, and provides guidance on what to do (read, engage, not summarize) and the automatic next-round behavior.

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