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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does reveal that publishing promotes the current version to live, which is useful, but it omits side effects, reversibility, permissions, or whether the previous live version is replaced. This is minimal behavioral transparency for a mutating operation.

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 a single, tightly worded sentence with no filler. The core action and its clarifying effect are both front-loaded, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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 schema-documented parameter and no output schema, so the description does not need to explain return values. However, because annotations are absent, the description could have more explicitly captured behavioral context such as irreversibility or the fact that this is a deployment action affecting the live environment.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the single parameter 'webapp_id' is already documented as 'Webapp UUID.' The description adds no additional parameter-level meaning, which is acceptable given the schema fully covers the parameter.

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 uses a specific verb ('Publish') tied to a clear resource ('Tealfabric webapp') and immediately clarifies the intended effect with the parenthetical 'make the current version live.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list, create, update, or get webapps.

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 explains what the tool does but gives no explicit guidance on when to choose it over alternatives, when not to use it, or what prerequisites or sequencing might apply (e.g., requiring a previous update before publishing). Usage context is only implied by the phrase 'make the current version live.'

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