runtime_smoke_start

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint: true, so the description's 'Start' is consistent. The description adds that it returns a run id, but does not disclose side effects or behaviors beyond 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?

A single sentence of 10 words, no filler. Efficiently communicates the core purpose.

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 a complex nested object parameter and many sibling tools, the description is too terse. It does not explain what a 'durable runtime smoke run' entails, how to structure the plan, or how the returned run id is used.

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?

The sole parameter 'plan' (object with additionalProperties) has no description in the schema (0% coverage). The tool description provides no details about what the plan should contain, leaving the agent uninformed.

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 action ('Start'), the resource ('durable runtime smoke run'), and the outcome ('return a run id'). This verb+resource combination distinguishes it from sibling tools like runtime_smoke_run_plan or runtime_smoke_run_probe.

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 such as runtime_smoke_run_plan or runtime_smoke_run_probe. No mention of prerequisites or postconditions.

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