spamtitan_release_message

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

With no annotations, description must disclose all behavioral traits. It only states the basic action without mentioning side effects (e.g., does it remove the quarantine entry?), failure modes, idempotency, or permissions required.

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?

Extremely concise single sentence with no unnecessary words. Action verb is front-loaded, making it efficient for quick consumption.

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 tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the core functionality but omits important context such as success response, error handling, and prerequisites (e.g., message must be quarantined).

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 100% parameter description coverage, so the description adds no new information about the single parameter beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 the action (release) and the resource (quarantined message) with the outcome (delivery to recipient). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like delete_message and navigation 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?

No explicit guidance on when to use release vs. delete or other actions. Sibling tool 'spamtitan_delete_message' is an alternative, but description does not clarify when to choose one over the other.

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