approve_suggested_post

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, but the description adds no extra behavioral context such as side effects, permission requirements, or what 'approve' entails. It does not contradict annotations, but it also does not go beyond them. For a mutating action, this is a gap in transparency.

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, front-loaded with the verb and resource. It wastes no words and is easily parsed. The inclusion of '(v9.2)' is a minor aside but does not harm readability or structure.

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 lack of parameter semantics and any usage guidance, the description is incomplete for an agent to invoke the tool correctly. It does have clear purpose, but the absence of behavior details, parameter meanings, and decision context leaves significant gaps for such a simple tool.

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 schema has two required parameters but provides no descriptions, and the tool description also fails to explain their meaning or format. business_connection_id and message_id are named, but what message_id refers to (the suggested post?) is not clarified. With 0% schema coverage, the description must compensate, and it does not.

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: 'Approve a suggested post for a channel.' It uses a specific verb and resource, and it distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'decline_suggested_post' by implying the opposite action. The version note '(v9.2)' is extra but does not cloud the purpose.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention pruning criteria, prerequisites, or scenarios such as 'use decline_suggested_post to reject instead.' The only implied usage comes from the verb, but there is no explicit comparison or exclusion.

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