plan_migration_phases

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

No annotations provided. Description only states the basic action without behavioral context (e.g., whether it is read-only, requires authentication, has side effects). The api_key parameter suggests authentication, but not explained. Leaves agent uninformed about side effects.

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 with no redundancy. Efficiently conveys core purpose, though could further structure to highlight inputs and output.

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 3 parameters and output schema, description covers the main function but lacks details on parameter usage for api_key, error conditions, and any constraints. Adequate for a simple tool but not thorough.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%. Description adds meaning for loc and complexity by linking them to the plan, but does not explain their semantics (e.g., units, range). The api_key parameter is not mentioned, leaving its purpose unclear. Description partially compensates but incomplete.

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 clearly states the verb 'Generate', the resource 'migration plan', and the inputs 'LOC + complexity'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like estimate_migration_complexity by focusing on plan generation.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of prerequisites or exclusions. Siblings like estimate_migration_complexity might be used for input estimation, but the description does not address this.

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