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

The description discloses a key behavioral trait: instructions do not embed credentials. However, it omits other important behaviors such as whether the tool requires authentication, side effects, error handling for invalid parameters (e.g., bad server_id), and the output format. With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility and provides only partial transparency.

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?

The description is a single, information-dense sentence. It is front-loaded and to the point, with no wasted words. However, it could be more effective by adding brief parameter explanations, which would slightly increase length but improve completeness.

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?

Given the tool has three parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description is too sparse. It omits parameter semantics, output structure, and usage conditions. While the core purpose is clear, the agent lacks sufficient information to use the tool correctly without external knowledge.

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 explain parameters. It only says 'client-specific', which hints at the 'client' parameter but provides no explanation for 'server_id' or 'endpoint_index'. The enum values for 'client' are not described, and the role of 'endpoint_index' is unclear. This is insufficient for correct invocation.

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?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: generating client-specific, copyable installation instructions without embedding credentials. It uses a specific verb ('Generate') and resource, and the constraint adds precision. The tool's name aligns with its function, and it stands out from siblings, which are about checking endpoints and servers, not installing.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not specify prerequisites, typical use cases, or when not to use it. Although the tool is distinct from siblings, the lack of explicit usage context limits the agent's ability to choose correctly.

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