sumo_qa_execute_external_skill

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, so the description's statement 'return the execution handoff' aligns. The description adds value by explaining the handoff payload includes 'the skill body plus the original intent', which is useful context beyond the structured annotations.

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 concise with two sentences. The first sentence front-loads the core purpose, and the second adds detail about the payload. No redundant words.

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 absence of output schema and incomplete parameter documentation, the description covers the basic purpose and return value but lacks details on parameter semantics and return format. It is minimally adequate for understanding the main function but not fully complete.

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%, so the description should compensate by explaining the parameters. However, it mentions 'skill body' but does not clarify the meaning of the three parameters (skill, intent, scope). The tool name suggests 'skill' is the file, but intent and scope remain unexplained, leaving a significant gap.

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 loads an installed external SKILL.md and returns an execution handoff. The verb 'Load' and resource 'SKILL.md' are specific. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like sumo_qa_load_skill_context, which might also load skill-related data.

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 implies usage when an external skill is available and needs to be executed, but it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sumo_qa_check_external_skill_installed. No when-not-to-use or exclusion criteria are provided.

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