v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden, but it reveals nothing about behavior, side effects, return values, or error cases. It is purely a label, not a behavioral disclosure.
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 text is extremely short, but this is under-specification rather than useful conciseness. It says nothing beyond the tool name and provides no structured or front-loaded information.
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 no annotations and no output schema, the description is entirely inadequate. It does not explain what a regression test is, what the tool returns, or how it relates to the listed sibling tools.
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 declares zero parameters, so the baseline is 4; the description adds no parameter meaning, but there are no parameters for it to explain. The permissive additionalProperties: true schema is not clarified, but that is a minor gap with no required inputs.
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 'get regression test' merely restates the tool name and adds no verb-resource detail beyond it. It does not distinguish this tool from siblings like search_past_failures or replay_behavior_case.
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 about when to use this tool or when to prefer a sibling. No context, conditions, or alternatives are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
