tokportal_publish_bundle_video

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

Annotations show readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=false. The description goes beyond these by detailing preconditions (Coverage/grandfather status), auto-renewal behavior, and the consequence of non-renewal (no mutation starts). This effectively informs the agent about conditional execution and side effects.

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 three sentences long and front-loads the core action. The second and third sentences provide necessary context about coverage and renewal. It is concise but contains no wasted words, though it could be slightly trimmed without losing meaning.

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 tool has 3 parameters, no output schema, and moderate complexity. The description explains when execution may be aborted (no renewal) and provides business logic. It could additionally mention return values (e.g., success/failure indicators) to be fully complete, but given the lack of output schema, it does enough.

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%, so parameters id, position, and idempotency_key are already documented. The description adds no additional meaning to these parameters beyond what the schema provides, which is acceptable per the rubric.

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 'Publish one video slot' as a verb-noun pair, and differentiates from sibling tools like tokportal_publish_bundle (publishes all slots) and tokportal_publish_all_bundle_videos. The resource is a single video slot within a bundle, which is distinct from other publish tools.

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 that published video slots require active TokPortal Coverage or grandfather status, and mentions potential auto-renewal. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus tokportal_publish_bundle or tokportal_publish_all_bundle_videos, nor does it provide conditions for when not to use it.

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