the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare this as a non-read-only, non-idempotent, open-world operation. The description adds only the categories of things that can be requested and says nothing about duplicate submission risk from non-idempotency, what happens after submission, whether external factories are involved, or expected response behavior.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is efficient, though the lack of any follow-up structure for parameters or workflow keeps it from being a 5.
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 7-parameter open-world mutation tool with no output schema, the description is far too thin. It omits what the tool returns (e.g., a request ID), how to track the request afterward, and what the remaining optional parameters do.
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 0%, so the description must carry the burden of explaining 7 parameters. It only hints at the required 'what' field via examples (part, print run, design, build); name, when, where, budget, contact, and callback_url are entirely undocumented in both schema and description.
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?
It states a clear verb and object: asking ce-net factories for a part, print run, design, or build. The request categories are specific enough for an agent to grasp the intent, but it never distinguishes itself from siblings like request_reply, request_status, or factories_search.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus request_reply, request_status, compute_submit, print_plate_quote, or source_request. Prerequisites, timing, and post-submission workflow are entirely left to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
