signup_algochains

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

The description adds some behavioral context (returns session or requires_email_confirm, uses Supabase Auth), but it contradicts the idempotentHint=true annotation. Creating a new account each call is not idempotent, so transparency is undermined.

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 exceptionally concise: two sentences plus a next-steps arrow. Every sentence 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?

Given the lack of output schema, the description adequately covers return types and a clear workflow. Minor gaps like uniqueness constraints or prerequisites don't significantly hurt completeness.

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 input schema already covers both parameters with descriptions (email, password with min 8 chars). The description adds no further meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline for 100% coverage.

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 the action 'Create a new AlgoChains account' and distinguishes it from sibling tools like login_algochains by specifying 'with email + password via Supabase Auth' and outlining next steps.

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 implicitly indicates when to use (for new account creation) and provides a clear post-signup workflow. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives like login.

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