diagnose_error_from_clipboard

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

Lacks annotations. Description only says it diagnoses and proposes fixes, but does not disclose how it processes the clipboard (e.g., reads image, text), what types of errors, or any 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 conveying essential purpose clearly. No wasted words.

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?

Simple tool but no annotations or output schema. For a diagnostic tool that proposes fixes, more detail on return format or error scope would improve 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?

No parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to explain parameters, but it could hint that the input is read automatically from clipboard.

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 it diagnoses error screenshots from clipboard and proposes fixes. However, the sibling 'diagnose_error' likely performs similar analysis but without clipboard, and the description does not differentiate.

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 'diagnose_error' or other clipboard analysis tools. Implied usage when clipboard has an error screenshot, but no explicit context.

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