moltbook_follow

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the action ('Follow an agent') and basic input/output, without disclosing behavioral traits like whether this requires authentication, what 'Follow result' contains, if there are rate limits, or side effects (e.g., notifications). This is inadequate for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.

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 brief and structured with 'Args:' and 'Returns:' sections, making it easy to parse. However, the 'Returns:' section ('Follow result.') is overly vague and could be more informative without sacrificing conciseness.

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 no annotations, 0% schema coverage, no output schema, and a mutation tool ('follow'), the description is incomplete. It lacks details on authentication, error conditions, return values, and how it integrates with the system (e.g., Moltbook platform context). More context is needed for effective use.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds minimal semantics by specifying 'name: Agent name to follow', which clarifies the parameter's role beyond the schema's generic 'Name' title. However, it doesn't explain format constraints (e.g., string pattern) or provide examples, leaving gaps.

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 states 'Follow an agent' which provides a basic verb+resource combination, but it's vague about what 'follow' means in this context (e.g., social media follow, notification subscription, tracking). It doesn't distinguish from sibling 'moltbook_unfollow' beyond the opposite action. The purpose is understandable but lacks specificity.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., authentication), when not to use it, or how it relates to sibling tools like 'moltbook_unfollow' or 'moltbook_get_profile'. The agent must infer usage from context alone.

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