batch_triage_flame

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the core effect (each decision moves a bookmark to Spark or Ash) but does not address error handling, partial-failure behavior, atomicity, reversibility, or any side effects. For a batch mutation tool, this is insufficient.

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 exactly two short sentences, front-loaded with the verb and resource. The second sentence clarifies the effect without redundancy. No unnecessary details or filler, making it highly concise and well-structured.

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?

Despite high schema coverage, the tool has no annotations and no output schema. The description leaves unanswered questions such as whether the batch operation is atomic, what happens if a bookmark ID is invalid, whether partial successes occur, and what the return value is. These gaps are significant for a batch mutation 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 description coverage is 100%, with each parameter (including the nested objects) having clear descriptions. The description's line about moving to Spark or Ash redundantly restates the action enum but adds no new semantic meaning beyond the schema. 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?

The description uses the specific verb 'triage' and clearly identifies the resource ('multiple Flame bookmarks') and the outcome ('moves a bookmark to Spark or Ash'). The phrase 'at once' distinguishes this batch tool from the single-move sibling tools (move_flame_to_spark, move_flame_to_ash), making its purpose unambiguous.

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?

The description implies usage for batch triage via 'multiple Flame bookmarks at once', providing clear context for when to use this tool. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions (e.g., for a single bookmark, use the individual move tools), so it stops short of a full when/when-not comparison.

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