sql_execute

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It correctly states that the tool performs writes, but it does not disclose the mutative side effects, the need for confirm_write, the behavior of dry_run, or what the response contains. For a write tool, this leaves important behavioral ambiguities.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It efficiently conveys the core purpose, though its brevity comes at the cost of completeness.

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 mutation tool with six parameters, no annotations, and no schema descriptions, one sentence is far from complete. It lacks guidance on parameter selection, safeguards like dry_run and confirm_write, and the boundary with sql_query. It is not redundant with the schema because the schema has no descriptions.

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%, and the description adds almost no parameter-level meaning. It only indicates the SQL should be an insert/update/delete; it does not clarify that sql/query/statement are likely alternative parameters, nor explain the roles of params, dry_run, or confirm_write. This is insufficient given six undocumented parameters.

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 exact operation ('Execute a write SQL statement'), enumerates the statement types (insert/update/delete), and names the target ('FairCom'). This distinguishes it from sibling read tools like sql_query and sql_query_page.

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 'write SQL statement' wording establishes that the tool is for mutations, which implies sql_query/sql_query_page are for reads, but the description does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives or mention any exclusions or prerequisites.

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