contentrain_scaffold

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

The description discloses that changes are auto-committed to git, which is a behavioral trait not covered by annotations (which only have boolean hints). This adds useful context about side effects, though more details (e.g., branch, commit message) could be provided.

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 concise with two sentences, front-loading the core purpose and listing templates. Every sentence adds value, with no unnecessary 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?

Given the absence of an output schema and the simplicity of the tool, the description covers the main purpose and a key behavioral trait (auto-commit). It is complete enough for an agent to select and use the tool, though return values are not described.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, so all parameters are already documented. The description's mention of template options and sample content adds little beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose as template-based project setup and lists specific templates. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like contentrain_init or contentrain_apply, which serve different purposes.

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 does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use criteria are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer from the template list.

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