Resolve XRC-729 process graph

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It clarifies the operation is non-mutating, which is valuable. However, it does not disclose other behavioral traits such as required permissions, potential side effects, or response size.

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 sentence that efficiently conveys the core action and constraint. No extraneous words; the structure is front-loaded with the verb and key concepts.

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 has 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficiently complete. It does not explain what 'resolve' produces, how each parameter affects the result, or any edge cases, leaving significant gaps for the agent.

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 input schema has 4 parameters with 0% description coverage. The description does not explain any parameter meaning or usage, leaving the agent to infer from the schema alone. Minimal value is added beyond the schema.

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 uses the specific verb 'resolve' and clearly identifies the resources (XRC-729 OSTC runtime JSON and linked XRC-137 rule contracts). It also explicitly states the operation is read-only ('without mutating chain state'), which distinguishes it from mutation tools among the siblings.

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 usage for resolving deployed entities but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like read_xrc729_ostc_json or get_xrc729_ostc_state. No guidance on prerequisites or context is provided.

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