htb_active_season_machine

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

Description states it returns a 'card' but does not explain what that entails (e.g., data fields, format, or side effects). With no annotations, the description partially discloses behavior but lacks depth.

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?

Single sentence, no redundancy, and immediately conveys the tool's function. Every word earns its place.

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 zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description is adequate but minimal. It does not explain the structure of the returned 'card' or any implications of using it.

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?

No parameters exist, and schema coverage is 100%. The description adds value by clarifying what the tool returns, exceeding the schema's silent input.

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?

Description uses a specific verb 'Return' and resource 'active seasonal machine card', clearly indicating the tool's purpose. It distinguishes from siblings such as 'htb_active_machine' and 'htb_season_machines' by focusing on the seasonal aspect.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'htb_season_machines' or 'htb_active_machine'. No context about prerequisites or ordering relative to other tools.

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