disassemble_range

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. 'Disassemble' implies a read operation, but the description does not state whether it's safe or destructive, rate limits, or what the output format is (e.g., instructions, bytes, etc.). This is a significant gap for a tool with no 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 is two short sentences, with the purpose in the first sentence and example format in the second. No filler or redundant information.

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 complexity of a disassembly operation, the description lacks details on return format (likely instructions, but not confirmed), whether it returns a stream or list, and if there are any bounds/limits on range size. The output schema is presumably present, so format details could be there, but the description doesn't hint at what to expect. With 2 params and no annotations, more context is needed.

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%, meaning the schema provides only variable names. The description adds crucial meaning by specifying that addresses should be given as hex strings with the '0x' prefix (e.g., '0x401000'). This compensates for the schema's lack of description, making it clear how to format inputs.

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 it disassembles an arbitrary address range, using the specific verb 'disassemble' and the resource 'address range'. It also provides example hex formats, distinguishing it from siblings like 'decompile_function' and 'disassemble_function'.

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 gives an example of hex format but lacks any guidance on when to use this vs. alternatives like 'disassemble_function' (which is for a single function) or 'produce_asm'. No explicit when-not or prerequisites are mentioned.

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