start_process

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

With no annotations, the description minimally covers behavior: it starts a process, but omits what happens on success/failure, side effects, permissions needed, or any constraints. Very limited disclosure.

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 sentence, which is concise but lacks substance. It is not verbose, but it could be more informative without adding length.

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 tool that starts a business process, the description is incomplete: no return value, error behavior, or process lifecycle details. Combined with no output schema, agent has insufficient context to use it confidently.

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 100%, so the description does not need to add meaning, but it also doesn't enrich the parameters beyond 'code' and 'context' which are already described in the schema. No additional benefit.

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 starts a business process by its code, which is a specific verb+resource combination. It distinguishes from sibling tools (like comments or items) implicitly, as those are different entity types.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, or any prerequisites or context for starting a process. The description provides no usage direction.

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