B3.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the behavioral load, and it does so unusually well: it discloses the return shape (same as a list_library item), names the notable nested fields (spriteSheet, poses), and reveals the non-obvious behavior of compositing one image per pose with its index drawn beside it. It omits read-only/permission context, but for a fetch tool this is solid.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two tight sentences with the return-shape information front-loaded and no filler. The second sentence adds genuinely useful detail rather than padding.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description does the necessary work of describing the return payload, including nested fields and image composition. It is incomplete on the input side, though, leaving imageId unexplained and giving no guidance on sourcing it from list_library.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0% and the description never explains imageId — not its meaning, format, or how to obtain it. The only hint is the general notion of a 'saved asset or mascot,' which does not map clearly to the parameter name, so the description fails to compensate for the coverage gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (Return) and resource (one saved asset or mascot), and explicitly relates it to list_library, helping the agent distinguish a single fetch from the listing tool. It is slightly loose in calling the resource both 'asset' and 'mascot' without clarifying the relationship, but the intent is clear.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied: by contrast with list_library it reads as the singular lookup for one item, and the required imageId suggests fetching by identifier. However there is no explicit 'use this when' statement, no mention of where imageId comes from, and no exclusions.

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