mco_w_audit

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It discloses the specific analyses performed (static APIs/strings/crypto, runtime modules/threads) and the output (report with severity ratings), but it doesn't mention whether the audit has side effects such as attaching to processes, requiring a live debugger connection, or modifying anything, which is a notable gap for an audit tool.

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 a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the purpose ('Quick w audit') and then elaborates on the approach and output. It is concise and every word earns its place, though the 'w' could be clarified. Overall, it is optimally sized and structured.

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 zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the core elements: what analysis it performs (IDA static + x64dbg runtime), what it returns (unified report with severity), and its quick nature. Missing details include prerequisites, side effects, and report format, but given the simplicity and the presence of sibling tools, it is reasonably complete.

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 schema has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds meaning by explaining the tool's behavior and output despite having no parameters, which is sufficient. There are no parameter details to clarify, and the description effectively covers what the tool does.

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 it performs a quick audit combining IDA static analysis (suspicious APIs, strings, crypto) and x64dbg runtime state (modules, threads), and returns a unified threat intelligence report with severity ratings. This distinguishes it from sibling tools that focus on individual debugger operations, though the 'w' in 'w audit' is ambiguous.

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 a usage context: a quick combined audit using all available debuggers, which contrasts with using individual IDA or x64dbg tools. However, it doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or when not to use it, leaving comparative guidance implicit rather than explicit.

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