qt_menu_items

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It implies a read operation by saying 'Get actions,' but does not disclose side effects, permissions, error behavior for non-QMenu refs, or how the optional instance affects execution.

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 short and front-loaded with the core action. The Args section is sparse but not wasteful, though it could be more structured for the undocumented instance parameter.

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 tool with no annotations and 0% schema description coverage, the description is incomplete: it does not explain the optional instance argument, ref acquisition, or behavioral expectations. The output schema covers return values, but invocation semantics remain under-specified.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It only partially documents ref as a 'Ref to a QMenu widget' and does not explain the optional instance parameter at all.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Get actions from a QMenu widget.' This clearly distinguishes the operation from generic widget inspection or action triggering, though it does not explicitly contrast with siblings like qt_trigger_action.

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?

It only says the ref must point to a QMenu widget. There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as qt_object_tree, qt_widget_details, or qt_trigger_action, and no prerequisites or exclusions are given.

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