activate_code_discount

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

No annotations provided; description only says 'activate' without disclosing side effects, impact on scheduled discounts, or any behavioral details beyond the 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?

Single sentence, no wasted words, front-loads the action and condition.

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 simple activation with one param, description is adequate but lacks information about return values or confirmation. No output schema, so agent may not know expectation.

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 has one parameter with description; schema coverage is 100%. Description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, meeting baseline.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'activate' and resource 'code discount', specifying condition 'currently inactive or scheduled'. Differentiates from sibling tools like deactivate_code_discount.

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?

Implied usage from description but no explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives like deactivate_code_discount or create_code_discount_*. No when-not or alternative mentions.

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