write_nvt_mdp

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

Minimal disclosure beyond annotations. Says 'writes' and 'conservative' but does not mention side effects (e.g., overwriting files) or behavior like default values or validation.

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 is concise but lacks necessary details. Efficient but under-specified.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description does not explain parameter usage or expected output format. Incomplete for a tool with 7 parameters.

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 parameter descriptions in schema (0% coverage) and no explanation in the description. Agent must infer meanings from parameter names alone.

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?

Clearly states the tool writes an NVT equilibration MDP template, with 'conservative' qualifying the content. Distinguishes from sibling tools like write_npt_mdp and write_em_mdp.

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?

Implies usage for NVT equilibration, but no explicit when-to-use or alternatives guidance. Siblings exist but are not referenced.

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