10 toolsanalyze_job_descriptionAnalyze Job DescriptionARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Analyze a job description to extract required skills, nice-to-haves, red flags, and estimated seniority level. Deterministic analysis, uses no AI credits, but requires a connected AI Applyd account.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_description | Yes | Full text of the job description |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds value by noting it is deterministic and uses no AI credits, and clarifies the requirement for a connected AI Applyd account. This enriches the behavioral context beyond annotations.
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 consists of two clear, concise sentences. The first states the core function and outputs; the second adds important contextual notes. Every sentence earns its place with no fluff.
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's simplicity (single parameter, no output schema), the description is fairly complete. It covers what the tool extracts, its deterministic nature, and the account requirement. It does not describe return format or error handling, but these are common and the tool is straightforward.
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?
There is only one parameter with 100% schema description coverage. The schema describes 'Full text of the job description' with length constraints. The tool description does not add additional parameter details beyond that, so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.
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 verb 'analyze' and the resource 'job description', and lists specific outputs (skills, nice-to-haves, red flags, seniority). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'score_resume' or 'generate_cover_letter', which have different purposes.
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?
The description mentions it is deterministic and uses no AI credits, giving some context for when to use, but it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or suggest alternatives among siblings. Usage guidance is implied but not explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description honestly discloses the tool's actions (tailor resume, generate cover letter, submit) and the paid plan requirement. Annotations show destructiveHint=true which aligns with the description's submission action. No contradictions.
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?
Two sentences: first clearly states purpose, second covers usage and requirement. No redundant text, front-loaded with action.
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 tool initiating automated application, the description covers inputs, process, and a requirement. It lacks details like expected output or error scenarios, but the complexity and lack of output schema make this acceptable.
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 100%, so the schema fully documents both parameters. The description adds minimal value beyond noting that resume_text is optional and uses a default. With high coverage, baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 specifies a concrete verb-resource combination: 'Automatically apply to a job using AI.' It clearly differentiates from sibling tools that perform sub-steps (e.g., generate_cover_letter, optimize_resume) by framing the tool as the end-to-end submission process.
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?
The description states required inputs ('Provide the job URL and optionally your resume text') and a prerequisite ('Requires paid plan'). It does not explicitly list when not to use or alternative tools, but the context of sibling tools implies those are for individual tasks.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

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 no output schema, the description hints at output ('personalized cover letter with key themes'). It covers inputs and constraints (paid plan). Could be more detailed about output format or error handling, but adequate for an AI agent.
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 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description redundantly mentions resume, job description, and company name but adds no new semantic detail. The tone parameter's default is only in the schema, not in the 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?
The description clearly states the tool generates a cover letter tailored to a job, using resume, job description, and company name. The verb 'generate' and resource 'cover letter' are specific and distinguish it from sibling tools like analyze_job_description or optimize_resume.
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?
The description implies when to use (when you need a personalized cover letter) but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative comparisons. The only extra constraint is the paid plan requirement, which is a limitation rather than guidance.
