tokportal_publish_bundle_video

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

Annotations are sparse (only readOnlyHint and destructiveHint are false), but the description provides substantial behavioral context beyond them. It details conditional starting behavior (account coverage requirements), renewal logic, and what happens if renewal fails (no task or media mutation). This is valuable for an agent understanding side effects and prerequisites.

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 relatively concise with four sentences covering key conditions and behavior. It is front-loaded with the core purpose but could be slightly more streamlined without losing important nuance.

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?

The description explains the publish action and coverage prerequisites but does not mention outputs or return values (no output schema). For a mutating operation like publishing a video slot, information about what is returned (e.g., success, updated entity) would improve completeness. However, given the complexity and sparse annotations, it covers the main behavioral aspects adequately.

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 100%, so the schema already documents the three parameters (id, position, idempotency_key). The description does not add further semantic meaning or usage hints for these parameters, keeping the score at baseline 3.

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 'Publish one video slot,' which matches the title and name, providing a clear verb and resource. However, within a large family of video-related sibling tools like 'publish_all_bundle_videos' and 'configure_bundle_video,' it does not explicitly differentiate itself from similar operations, leaving the scope ambiguous.

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 explains conditions related to TokPortal Coverage and grandfathered status but does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'publish_all_bundle_videos' or 'configure_bundle_video.' It lacks guidance on prerequisites or context for selection, such as when to publish a single slot versus all slots.

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