C2.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, and it discloses nothing: no statement about whether this mutates the drawing, creates an annotation entity, requires a valid circle_id, or is undoable. An 'add' verb implies creation, but nothing about side effects or failure modes is given.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The single short sentence is trim and front-loaded, but its brevity reflects under-specification rather than efficiency — there is no waste because there is almost no content.

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 mutation tool with a nested-object parameter, zero schema description coverage, no annotations, and no output schema, a four-word description is insufficient. An agent cannot reliably construct a valid call from this definition alone.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% and the description documents neither parameter. The agent must infer that circle_id references a circle entity and that leader_point is the nested {x,y} location for the dimension leader, with no help from either the schema or the description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('add a diameter dimension'), so the basic action is identifiable. However, it does nothing to distinguish itself from the many sibling dimension tools, most notably the near-identical 'add_dimension_diameter', leaving the agent unable to tell which one to pick.

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?

No when-to-use guidance at all. The description does not say when a diameter dimension is preferable to add_radius_dimension, add_aligned_dimension, or the redundant add_dimension_diameter sibling, nor does it state prerequisites such as an existing circle.

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