Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses the dry_run parameter for previewing, but lacks details on side effects, authorization needs, rate limits, or success/error responses. The output schema covers return values, but the description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the creation action.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise: one sentence for purpose followed by a simple bullet-like parameter list. Every sentence adds value, and the purpose is front-loaded. No irrelevant information is included.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a creation tool with three parameters and an output schema, the description covers purpose and parameter semantics. However, it misses context like template name uniqueness, CSS validation rules, or permissions. It also does not differentiate from sibling creation tools like capture_dashboard_template.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the parameter descriptions in the tool description are essential. They provide clear, if brief, explanations for all three parameters: template_name, css, and dry_run. This adds meaning beyond the bare schema definition.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Create a new CSS template for dashboard styling,' using a specific verb and resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like update_css_template, delete_css_template, and other create_* tools that target different resources.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as capture_dashboard_template or update_css_template. The description only lists parameters without explaining prerequisites or scenarios where creation is preferred.

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