grok_agent_fix

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It fails to mention whether the session is asynchronous, what it returns, or any required prerequisites. 'Start a session' implies side effects but provides no safety or lifecycle context.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. While it is under-specified for the tool's complexity, the conciseness itself is appropriate and efficient.

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 three parameters including a nested task packet, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the session lifecycle, expected response, or relationship to polling/status tools like grok_agent_poll, making it inadequate for reliable invocation.

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 description coverage is 0% and the description adds no parameter details. The complex nested 'task' object and the 'lane'/'transport' parameters are completely unexplained, leaving the agent without necessary semantic information for invocation.

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 a specific verb ('Start'), names a concrete resource ('workspace fixer session'), and adds scope ('confirmed findings in the task packet'), which differentiates it from sibling tools like grok_agent_start. The purpose is clear and distinguishable.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives; it does not mention other tools or exclusion criteria. The context is implied (fixer sessions for confirmed findings) but no explicit when-to-use guidance is provided.

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