sw_create_vertical_heat_exchanger_concept

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only states the high-level action. It does not mention whether the tool creates a new part, saves a file, requires an active document, overwrites existing files, or returns a path or confirmation.

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, direct sentence with no filler or redundant wording. It is concise and front-loaded, but it sacrifices useful contextual detail that an agent would need.

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 with four parameters, no annotations, and no parameter descriptions, the one-sentence description is incomplete. The output schema exists, so return values need not be described, but prerequisites, side effects, and parameter semantics are all missing.

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%, so the description must compensate for the lack of parameter documentation. It does not mention shell_diameter_mm, shell_height_mm, material, or save_as_name, and adds no meaning beyond what the raw parameter names already convey.

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 uses a clear verb and resource: 'Create a simplified vertical heat exchanger shell concept model.' This is more specific than sibling creation tools like sw_create_box or sw_create_cylinder, though the phrase 'concept model' is somewhat vague and could benefit from stating the intended use.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sw_create_cylinder or sw_create_tube_sheet. The tool name implies a vertical heat exchanger shell, but the description does not provide selection criteria, exclusions, or dependencies.

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