tokportal_dispute_comment_task

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

Annotations are minimal (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false) and do not explain the mutation's effect. The description adds value by stating the exact state transition (to pending corrections) and the critical blocking condition (inactive coverage) with recovery steps. It does not cover idempotency behaviors or error responses beyond the coverage block, but the core behavioral traits are well disclosed.

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 extremely concise: two sentences, no wasted words. The first sentence immediately conveys the purpose, and the second adds a crucial behavioral warning. Every sentence earns its place.

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 no output schema, the description could be more complete by indicating what the tool returns on success (e.g., the updated task object). It covers the main behavioral aspects (state change, blocking condition) but omits success response format and common error cases. Given the tool's moderate complexity, it is mostly complete but has a minor gap.

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 coverage is 100% with adequate descriptions for id (Comment task ID), body (JSON request body with reason), and idempotency_key (Optional Idempotency-Key header). The description adds no extra meaning to these parameters (e.g., valid reason formats, constraints on id). According to guidelines, high schema coverage earns a baseline of 3, and no additional param information is provided.

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 specific action ('Dispute a manually confirmed comment task') and the resulting state change ('Returns an owned manually_confirmed task to pending corrections'). This distinguishes it clearly from sibling tools like approve, delete, or create by naming a unique operation and outcome.

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 explicit context on when to use (disputing a manually confirmed task) and an important precondition: execution is blocked when TokPortal Coverage is inactive, with clear instructions to inspect MANAGED_ACCOUNT_TASK_BLOCKED and reactivate a recoverable account first. It lacks an explicit 'do not use if' statement or comparison with alternatives like approve, but the precondition guidance is strong enough for a 4.

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