Build Dashboard Source Availability Matrix

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Build', which implies creation, but does not clarify if the operation is destructive, read-only, or requires specific permissions. Side effects, rate limits, and other traits are absent.

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 sentence, making it concise. However, it lacks structure and is too terse to be informative. It front-loads the action but does not earn its place due to insufficient detail.

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 complexity (7 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is severely incomplete. It fails to explain the output, the role of parameters, or the overall process. An agent would struggle to invoke this tool correctly.

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% but parameter descriptions are trivial (e.g., 'environments input.'), adding no real value. The tool description itself does not explain what each parameter does or how they relate to the build process, failing to compensate for the weak schema descriptions.

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 the verb 'Build' and the resource 'Delta v7 supplied-evidence source availability matrix', giving a clear action and object. However, it lacks context on what a 'source availability matrix' is, and does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'dl_build_validation_evidence_report' or 'dl_plan_source_availability_patch'. The purpose is vague for an agent unfamiliar with the domain.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus its many siblings, nor does it mention prerequisites, scenarios, or alternatives. The agent is left without any context to decide the appropriate tool.

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