zadig_build_apply

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only notes that dry_run defaults to true, which is already visible in the schema, and does not explain the effect of confirm, overwrite behavior, or what each mode actually does. This is insufficient for a mutation-triggering 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 very short and front-loaded with the core action. It wastes no words, though it is arguably too sparse for the tool's complexity. It earns a solid conciseness score but not a top score because brevity comes at the cost of needed detail.

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 8 parameters, no parameter-level schema descriptions, no annotations, and a nested build object, the description is far from complete. It provides a basic orientation but omits essential information about modes, confirmation, dry-run semantics, and optional parameters, making correct invocation uncertain.

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 adds minimal meaning by explaining that mode can be auto, create, or update, but leaves build, confirm, update_api, project_key, allow_redacted, and build_name largely unexplained. This is not enough for 8 parameters.

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?

Description states a clear action on a specific resource: 'Create or update one Zadig build.' It also mentions the three modes (auto, create, update), which clarifies the tool's role. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like zadig_build_create or zadig_build_update.

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 explicit guidance is given about when to use this tool instead of alternatives such as zadig_build_create or zadig_build_update. The mention of modes implies a unified create/update workflow, but no conditions or decision rules are provided.

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