discord_get_usage_guide

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool returns a complete usage guide, which is a useful behavioral detail, but it does not mention whether the operation is read-only, requires authentication, or has any side effects. These omissions are relatively minor given the tool's zero-parameter, informational nature.

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 short and front-loaded with the main purpose. However, it is somewhat repetitive: 'Get a comprehensive guide' and 'Returns: Complete usage guide' convey the same idea, and the middle sentence partially repeats the first.

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 has no parameters, an output schema exists, and the task is simply to return documentation, the description provides sufficient context for an agent to call it correctly. Nothing essential is missing for invocation.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description correctly does not discuss parameters, and the schema already covers the empty argument object.

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 states a specific verb 'Get' and resource 'comprehensive guide for using the Discord Bot tools'. It clearly distinguishes this meta-tool from the sibling action tools like discord_send_message or discord_list_guilds.

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 implies usage as a help/reference tool but does not explicitly state when to use it versus the other Discord tools, nor does it list any exclusions or prerequisites. The context is clear from the purpose alone, but explicit guidance is absent.

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