edubase_post_filebin_upload

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

The notations indicate this is a mutating operation (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false). The description adds the context that the link is for temporary storage, which hints at lifecycle behavior but does not elaborate on side effects, expiration, or permissions required.

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, front-loaded sentence with no redundant information. It is appropriately concise and easy to parse.

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?

The description is minimal but, given the presence of an output schema (not shown) and simple parameters, it provides adequate context for a straightforward upload link generation. However, it could mention what the tool returns (e.g., a URL) to aid agent understanding.

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?

Both parameters have descriptions in the schema, covering 100% of parameters. The tool description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline score of 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 action ('Generate upload link') and the resource ('temporary file storage'). It is specific and uses a verb+resource structure. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'edubase_filebin', missing an opportunity to clarify the distinction.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lacks context about prerequisites, limitations, or scenarios where other tools might be more appropriate.

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