nexo_closure_triage

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Triage a closure item without executing its source action,' but does not explain side effects, required permissions, or what happens to the item (e.g., update, categorization). Given the many optional parameters, the tool likely modifies state, but this is not confirmed.

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 a single, concise sentence. No filler words; every part adds value.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (10 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is too minimal. It does not cover what the tool returns, the meaning of 'triage' in this context, or how parameters interact. An AI agent would struggle to use this correctly without additional knowledge.

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?

Description does not explain any of the 10 parameters (e.g., state, blocker_reason, next_action). Schema description coverage is 0%, so the AI agent must infer meaning solely from parameter names, which is insufficient for a tool with abstract fields like 'evidence_required' and 'capability_status'.

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 tool's action ('Triage') and target resource ('a closure item'), and distinguishes it by noting it does not execute the source action, which differentiates it from siblings like 'nexo_closure_close'.

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 implies when to use: for triage without execution. It does not explicitly list when not to use or provide alternatives, but the context 'without executing its source action' gives sufficient guidance for an AI agent to understand appropriate usage.

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