B3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses canary shards, per-cycle pricing, and a first-free condition, but omits permissions, lifecycle behavior, and side effects of minting an agent.

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?

The description is front-loaded, tightly written, and contains no filler. Each clause adds a distinct fact about the operation, cost, or free-use condition.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a tool with a nested required object, three undocumented parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is materially incomplete. It lacks required task_spec structure, tool-grant behavior, TTL semantics, and return-value expectations.

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 description coverage is 0% and the description does little to compensate. 'Task-bound' weakly implies task_spec, but tool_grants and ttl_seconds receive no semantic explanation in either schema or description.

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?

The description states a specific verb ('Mint') and resource ('task-bound disposable agent'), making the core action clear. It does not explicitly distinguish this tool from sibling tools such as burn_spawn, so it falls short of a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description gives cost and first-free context but never states when to use this tool versus alternatives like burn_spawn or burn_run. There are no explicit exclusions or routing guidance.

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