register_ai_system
Destructive

Register an AI system, by the rules of POST /v1/ai/systems. Name and purpose are fixed once registered. A high-risk system with no oversight is accepted with a warning (AI Act Art. 14). Classifying the system is the company's call; do not choose a risk class the user has not given you: leave it unassessed.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already flag destructive=true and non-idempotent, and the description adds substantive context beyond them: name and purpose are immutable after registration, and a high-risk system without oversight is accepted with a warning rather than rejected. It does not explain what a duplicate registration does (non-idempotency) or what the response contains.

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?

Four tight sentences, front-loaded with the action and immediately followed by the consequences. The endpoint reference is mildly infrastructural but frames the immutability rules usefully; little waste overall.

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 7-parameter destructive mutation with low schema coverage and no output schema, the description covers the highest-stakes behaviors (immutability, risk-class defaults, warning-on-missing-oversight) but leaves half the parameters and the return value unaddressed.

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 29%, so the description needs to compensate. It adds meaning for name/purpose (immutability), oversight (implicitly tied to Art. 14), and risk_class (default to unassessed), but leaves model, provider, and ai_act_role entirely unexplained in both schema and 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?

States a specific verb ('register') and resource ('AI system') and anchors it to the backing endpoint. It is clearly distinct from the sibling list_ai_systems, though the description never names that 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 Guidelines4/5

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

Gives an explicit exclusion for the risk_class decision: 'do not choose a risk class the user has not given you: leave it unassessed.' That is real when/when-not guidance, but there is no guidance on when to call this versus list_ai_systems or record_ai_decision.

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