+]v1.4.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is fully covered elsewhere. The description adds no behavioral context beyond that — no indication of what is returned, error behavior for unresolvable refs, or how resolution across bug/task/URL differs.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence with the verb, resource, and reference forms in the first clause. No filler, no redundancy.
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?
An output schema exists so return values need not be described, and annotations carry the safety profile, making the description nearly sufficient for a one-param tool. The gap is the complete absence of sibling differentiation among several similarly named resolve/get tools, which is what an agent needs to select correctly.
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%, so the description must compensate, and it does add real value by enumerating the accepted forms of 'ref' (bug number, task id, or task URL) that the bare 'string' schema does not convey. It stops short of giving format examples or precedence rules when a value matches multiple forms.
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?
States a specific verb ('Resolve') and resource ('parent requirement') plus the accepted reference forms. It does not, however, distinguish itself from the closely named sibling 'get_bug_parent_requirement' or 'resolve_requirement', so an agent cannot tell the _by_ref variant apart from those without opening schemas.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many near-identical siblings (get_bug_parent_requirement, resolve_requirement, list_requirement_bugs_by_ref). No prerequisites, no exclusions, no stated conditions selecting this over alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
