search_modules_after_confirmation

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

No annotations are provided, yet the description does not disclose whether the tool is read-only or has side effects. It only describes the search action and return format, leaving safety profile unclear. For a search tool, this is a significant omission.

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?

Description is concise with a clear structure: main action, usage guidelines, then Args/Returns. No extraneous content. The Args/Returns section could be integrated, but it is functional 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?

For a simple search tool with pagination, the description covers purpose, usage, and basic parameters. However, it does not explain how the search string matches (full text? field-specific?), default page behavior, or the 'instructions' field in the return. Output schema exists but is not fully utilized.

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 add substantial meaning. It provides only minimal context ('in modules' for search_string, 'for pagination' for page) that barely extends beyond the schema titles and types. Parameters are not fully compensated.

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 specific verb 'Search' and resource 'facets.yaml files to filter modules', clearly conveying the tool's function. The name and description together distinguish it from siblings by emphasizing it is for confirmed searches.

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?

Explicitly states this tool should only be used after confirming search intent and instructs to explain search capabilities for exploratory searches, providing clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

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