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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that events are fanned out to hooks and the document is rendered into a single Source, which is useful. However, it omits details about auth, rate limits, error handling, or reversibility, leaving a partial behavioral picture.

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?

Two sentences clearly state the action, purpose, and behavior without filler. Front-loaded with the primary verb and resource, and every sentence 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?

With one well-documented parameter and a clear behavioral description, the tool is mostly complete for its purpose. It could mention return values or error conditions, but the fan-out and rendering behavior is disclosed, making it sufficient for typical use.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds 'complete' and 'multi-event' context but does not substantially expand beyond the schema's 'UMSFDocument as a JSON-serializable dict'. The mention of the pipeline adds some meaning, but the schema already provides the core.

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 ingests a complete UMSFDocument and specifies it is for multi-event submissions. It distinguishes from siblings like ak_ingest by emphasizing the 'complete document' vs. likely single events, though it does not explicitly name an alternative.

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 explicitly says to use this for multi-event submissions (full conversations, tool traces, etc.), providing clear context. It does not state when not to use it or name specific alternative tools, but the intent is evident.

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