words_clue

Give the clue in word partners: one word that points your partner at the secret word and away from its neighbour. Not a board word, a plural or stem of one, or a word inside one. The house partner answers in the same call.

Tool call template

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does disclose a meaningful behavior — the house partner answers in the same call — plus the negative validation rules for the clue. It omits what happens when a clue is rejected, whether the clue is revealed publicly, and what the response contains, leaving notable gaps for a mutation tool.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the core action and then the constraint rules, with no filler. It is dense with game-specific jargon ('neighbour', 'house partner') that assumes prior context, which slightly reduces immediate clarity.

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?

For a game-mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the action, the clue validity rules, and the synchronous partner response. It still leaves out validation-failure behavior and the return shape, which matter for calling it correctly in a live round.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is only 50% (clue and game_id are undocumented in the schema), and the description compensates substantially for the most important one by spelling out clue constraints: not a board word, plural, stem, or a word contained within one. game_id is left entirely implicit, but the centered parameter is well explained.

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 ('Give the clue in word partners') and defines what a valid clue is, which tells an agent this is the clue-submission action. It does not differentiate itself from sibling actions such as words_guess or words_play, so an agent must infer from the name which side of the round it belongs to.

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 implied by 'points your partner at the secret word' and 'the house partner answers in the same call', which signals this is for the clue-giver role and that no separate answer call is needed. There is no explicit when-to-use/when-not guidance and no reference to the alternative tools (words_guess, words_play) an agent would otherwise pick.

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