moderate_comment

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

The description adds meaningful behavioral detail beyond the annotations: 'delete' is NOT recoverable, 'approve' also un-spams, 'remove_content' leaves a stub, and 'spam' hides the comment. These disclosures complement the destructiveHint and help the agent understand consequences of each action.

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 compact, front-loaded with the core purpose, and uses a clear bulleted list for each action. Every sentence contributes either action semantics or a critical caveat, with no filler.

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 four-parameter moderation tool with an output schema, the description covers the action semantics, irreversible consequences, and a key API limitation. It does not explain how to obtain comment IDs or mention list_comments, but those are reasonably inferable from the parameter names and sibling tools.

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 description thoroughly explains the 'action' enum values, which is the parameter that most needs semantic clarification. However, blog_id, post_id, and comment_id receive no description-level elaboration; their semantics are only inferable from their names and schema titles. Given 0% schema description coverage, this is partial but not complete compensation.

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 the specific operation—'Moderate one comment'—and enumerates the four distinct moderation actions with concrete effects. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_comments and the broader blog/post management 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 action list explicitly explains when to choose each behavior, including a warning to confirm with a human before using 'delete'. It also explicitly notes that the Blogger API cannot create comments, so replying must be done manually—an exclusion that prevents misuse.

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