Import a repository for launch

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

Annotations already declare non-read-only, idempotent, open-world, non-destructive. The description adds real context beyond them: it saves an "owned" intake, only touches public repo data, performs no upstream writes or payment, and fills gaps by inference. It still does not say what the intake looks like or what happens on an unresolvable repo.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action and result, then scope limits. Nothing is repeated from the title or schema, and every clause carries information.

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?

With no output schema, the description should say what the saved intake yields and how inference vs. missing facts are surfaced, which it only gestures at. The two undocumented connection parameters and the relationship to the downstream launch flow remain unexplained.

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 50%: repository_url and idempotency_key are well documented in the schema, but github_connection and smithery_connection have no description anywhere. The description does not compensate by explaining when those connection UUIDs matter, so half the parameters remain opaque.

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?

States a concrete verb pair ("Inspect a public repository and save an owned launch intake"), so the agent knows both the read step and the write result. It does not differentiate itself from closely named siblings such as check_repository or prepare_repository, leaving the agent to infer the distinction.

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?

There is no statement of when to choose this over check_repository, prepare_repository, or get_launch_intake. The only boundary offered, "No upstream writes or payment", describes what the tool will not do rather than when to invoke it.

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