describe_unity_example_components

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

With no annotations, the description states it is a read operation ('Read C# source files') that returns full source text. This is adequate behavioral disclosure for a read-only tool. No side effects are implied.

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?

Two concise sentences, front-loaded with the action verb 'Read'. Every word adds value with no redundancy.

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 simple read tool with no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose, parameters, and return value. It lacks error handling or edge-case details, but this is acceptable given the tool's simplicity.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds context for the 'uris' parameter by specifying it comes from the search tool, which is helpful. It does not add meaning to 'projectPath' 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 it reads C# source files for bytewars components. It distinguishes itself from the sibling 'search_unity_example_components' by specifying that it returns full C# source text, while the search tool likely returns URIs.

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?

Provides clear usage guidance: 'Pass ‘uris’ from search_unity_example_components.' This indicates a precondition and suggests the tool is meant to be used after searching. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it.

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