close_milestone

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

No annotations are provided, and the description simply says 'Close a milestone' without disclosing behavioral traits such as whether the operation is reversible, destructive, or requires specific permissions. This leaves the agent with insufficient information about side effects.

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 minimal with no wasted words, but it is overly brief. A single phrase is not necessarily concise if it omits necessary information, but it does not contain filler.

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 three required parameters and no explanation, the description is incomplete. Although an output schema exists, the description fails to convey prerequisites or expected outcomes, making it hard for an agent to use correctly.

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 0% description coverage, and the description does not explain the meaning or format of any parameter. The agent must infer the purpose of 'platform', 'project_id', and 'milestone_id' solely from their names, which is insufficient.

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 action 'Close' and the resource 'milestone', making the tool's purpose immediately understandable. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like 'update_milestone' which might also change status, but 'close' is a specific operation.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools include 'update_milestone' which could potentially close milestones, and no context is given for when closing is appropriate instead of updating.

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