interchange_register_translator

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

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description reinforces idempotence with a concrete consequence ('already registered is a no-op') and, importantly, spells out the return object fields — needed because no output schema exists. It stops short of describing failure modes or load-time 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?

Two short sentences plus a return-shape line, with the core action front-loaded. Slight redundancy between the description's example path and the schema's identical example, but nothing wasteful enough to penalize heavily.

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 single-parameter mutation tool with full schema coverage and annotation-covered safety, the description supplies the missing return contract and the idempotence semantics. It is essentially complete for correct invocation, with only error/edge-case behavior left unstated.

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 description coverage is 100% and the single parameter already documents the class path, LoadClass resolution, and gives the same example. The description adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb pair (load and register) and a specific resource (a translator class) with a concrete example path, so the agent knows exactly what object is affected. It does not, however, explicitly differentiate itself from similarly-named siblings such as interchange_register_factory, so the sibling distinction is left to the resource noun alone.

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 implies the usage context (register a translator class so Interchange can use it) but never states when to call this versus interchange_register_factory or other interchange_* tools, nor any prerequisites. A usage note is present only in the form of the idempotence caveat.

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