fmod_menu_addMenuItem

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

Provides return value indication but no annotations exist. Lacks disclosure of side effects, permissions, or what constitutes success/failure. For a mutation tool, more behavioral context is needed.

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?

Short but includes an unnecessary cryptic reference '[method · menu.addMenuItem]'. The return value statement is implicit. Could be more focused on essential parameter info.

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 and minimal annotations, the description fails to provide complete context. Parameter semantics are critically missing, and the tool's role in the FMOD ecosystem is not clarified beyond the name.

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 0%, and the single parameter named 'required' has no description. The description says 'based on the description object' but does not explain what structure or values are expected, leaving the agent without necessary guidance.

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?

States it registers a menu item under the 'Scripts' menu, which is a specific verb+resource. Differentiates from sibling tools like fmod_menu_removeMenuItem and fmod_menu_menuItems. However, the phrasing 'based on the description object' is vague and doesn't clarify what the input should be.

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 guidance on when to use versus alternatives like fmod_menu_menuItems or fmod_menu_removeMenuItem. No prerequisites or context about the 'Scripts' menu registration process.

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