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

Discloses that operations affect the workspace's FAQ items and that they appear in the chat widget and are AI-usable. No annotations present, so description carries full burden; it lacks details on side effects (e.g., update is partial, deletion permanent) and idempotency.

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 concise sentences: first defines scope, second maps actions to requirements. No fluff, front-loaded with purpose.

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?

Covers the four operations and their required parameters. Lacks return value descriptions (no output schema) and does not explain the enabled field or default behavior. Adequate for a CRUD tool but not comprehensive.

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 has 100% description coverage, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explicitly mapping which parameters are required per action (e.g., 'create' needs question+answer), which is not fully captured in the schema's required array.

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?

Clearly states it lists, creates, updates, or deletes FAQ items for the workspace. Distinguishes from sibling knowledge tools by specifying 'FAQ items (shown in the chat widget and usable by the AI agent)'.

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?

Explicitly describes the four action values and their required parameters. No explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but the action enum and required fields provide clear usage guidance.

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