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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden, yet it discloses nothing about execution environment, permissions, side effects, timeouts, or what output is returned. A shell-execution tool is potentially destructive, so this silence is a significant gap, though the phrase 'terminal command' at least signals that something gets executed.

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?

It is short, but this is under-specification rather than disciplined conciseness — the single fragment carries almost no information and front-loads jargon. A longer description with real content would serve the agent better here.

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 command-execution tool with no annotations, no output schema, and only a vague parameter description, the definition is completely inadequate. An agent cannot determine safety profile, environment, or return behavior from this text.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3 even though the description adds nothing about the single 'detail' parameter. The schema's own description ('Specific parameters for this action') is generic, but per the coverage metric the schema is considered to document the parameter.

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 names a resource (terminal command, bash) but supplies no verb describing what happens — it largely restates the tool name. It does hint at sibling differentiation by naming 'bash' versus the sh/zsh siblings, but 'runner operator' is internal jargon that does not clarify the action.

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?

There is no statement of when to use this tool, no prerequisites, and no guidance for choosing between it and the closely related command__sh or command__zsh siblings. The only implied usage is that it runs bash commands, which the agent could infer from the name alone.

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