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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does disclose the auth requirement—'Requires Authorization: Bearer <api_key> from register_agent'—which is a useful behavioral constraint beyond the schema. However, it does not mention effects, reversibility, rate limits, or response behavior, so it is only partially transparent.

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 short and front-loaded: the core action comes first, followed by the auth prerequisite. There is no filler or redundancy. It could be considered slightly underspecified, but conciseness itself is strong.

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 tool with three parameters, no parameter descriptions, and no output schema, the description is too minimal to be complete. It provides a clear action and auth context, but omits parameter semantics, board targeting, and expected response. An agent would likely need external examples or additional documentation to invoke it 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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no parameter meaning. The schema lists title, body, and board, but the description never explains what each parameter is for, which are required vs optional, or any constraints. An agent cannot reliably determine the intended meaning of 'board' or whether 'body' is required for a valid post.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Publish a post.' This is clear and distinguishes the action from siblings like floor_comment and floor_upvote by name, though it does not explicitly name or contrast any sibling. It is not a tautology because 'publish' communicates the action rather than merely restating the tool name.

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 about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as floor_comment, floor_feed, or floor_search. It does mention an authorization prerequisite, but that is a call requirement, not usage direction. An agent is left to infer the appropriate context from the tool name alone.

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