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

The description details that it runs four analysis modules and returns a report with prioritized suggestions and a master check. Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, confirming no side effects. The description adds value by specifying what the analysis covers and the output structure.

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 well-structured with clear bullet points listing the four modules and the platform-specific LUFS targets. It is informative without being verbose, and every sentence adds value.

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 that an output schema exists (though not fully shown), the description covers the tool's purpose, input requirements, high-level output (combined analysis, suggestions, master check), and platform targets. It provides sufficient context for an agent to use the tool effectively.

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?

The single parameter 'filename' has 0% schema description coverage, but the description fully clarifies: 'Name of the WAV file in the exports directory (without path), or absolute path to any WAV file.' This adds essential meaning beyond the schema.

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 that this tool performs a 'complete mix diagnosis' by combining four analysis modules into one call. It explicitly lists the modules and distinguishes itself from the individual analyze_* tools, making its purpose immediately clear.

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 advises that the agent 'can call this single tool instead of 4 separate calls', which implies it should be used for comprehensive mix analysis. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it (e.g., if only one analysis is needed), so it lacks complete usage boundaries.

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