Inspect an OpenToonz project

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the burden. 'Parse ... and report' implies a read-only, non-mutating inspection and the mention of 'warnings' hints at tolerant parsing, but it says nothing about invalid-path behavior, error surfacing, or whether partial data is returned.

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?

One well-formed sentence with no filler, and the verb and scope lead. It stops short of 5 only because the enumerated return fields could be structured more crisply.

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?

With no output schema, the description usefully enumerates what comes back (version, aliases, resolved paths, warnings), which is the key missing structured information. Minor gap: no guidance on failure or path-resolution rules for a single-param tool.

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 coverage is 100% and the single param already documents 'workspace-relative or absolute project descriptor path.' The description adds nothing about path resolution semantics beyond the word 'resolved,' so baseline 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?

Specific verb + resource: 'Parse one OpenToonz project descriptor and report its version, folder aliases, resolved paths, and warnings.' It clearly covers one project, which distinguishes it from list_projects and inspect_scene, though it never explicitly names those siblings.

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?

Usage is implied only: an agent infers this is the per-project inspection step after list_projects. There is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or named alternative such as inspect_scene for scene-level details.

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