Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare the safety profile (readOnly=false, destructive=false, idempotent=true), and "Preserves existing slide content" adds useful confirming context. However, the key behavioral detail an agent needs — that templateId and sourceIndex select mutually exclusive modes — is not disclosed, nor is the insertion semantics of index.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two tight sentences with the action front-loaded and the non-destructive guarantee second. No filler or redundancy.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Output schema is present so return values need no explanation, and annotations cover the safety profile. The remaining gap is the unexplained mode-selection logic and insertion-position semantics, which is a modest but real omission for a mutation tool with 6 parameters.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is only 17%, so the description carries real weight here. It does map "named template" to templateId and "copy an existing slide" to sourceIndex, but index, idempotencyKey, and workspaceId remain undocumented in both schema and description. Partial compensation only.

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 and resource ("Insert one new carousel slide") and clarifies the two sourcing modes (named template vs. copying an existing slide). It is clearly distinct from carousels_slides_remove/reorder/undo, though it does not name any sibling explicitly.

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?

The two modes (template vs. copy) imply usage conditions, but the description never states when to choose this over alternatives such as carousels_slides_reorder, carousels_patch_slide, or carousels_clone, nor any prerequisites. Usage is inferable but not guided.

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