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

The description adds that inputs are validated server-side and that the deliverable is structured and audited, which is context beyond the readOnly/openWorld annotations. However, it does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as expected runtime, potential external data usage, or limitations, and the annotations already cover the safety profile.

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 relatively short, but the reference case with specific numbers adds detail that may not be essential for tool invocation. It is generally front-loaded with the purpose, but the reference case could be omitted without losing necessary guidance.

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?

The tool has 7 parameters including nested objects and no output schema, yet the description does not explain the expected deliverable structure or provide details on required fields. It gives a high-level promise of a 'structured, audited deliverable' but not enough for an agent to understand what to send or what to expect in return.

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 only 14%, with only the async parameter described. The description merely says 'send the documented case fields,' which does not explain the meaning of fields like company, salesTeam, targets, or currentChallenges, so it fails to compensate for the low schema coverage.

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 name and title indicate commission plan architecture, and the description says it 'Returns a structured, audited deliverable,' implying it generates a comp plan. However, it lacks an explicit verb like 'creates' or 'designs,' and does not differentiate itself from similar tools like revops_architect or comp_benchmark_geo_delta.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The reference case provides an example use case, but there is no explicit statement of when to choose this tool or when to use another.

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