generate_page_template

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only states the function but does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the tool creates files, overwrites existing content, requires authentication, or has rate limits.

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 two sentences: the first clearly states the action and lists many template types, the second notes broad support. It is front-loaded and efficient, though the lengthy list could be considered slightly verbose.

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?

Given 9 parameters and no output schema, the description is adequate but not thorough. It does not explain the generated output's format, how to integrate it, or provide examples. However, it covers the core purpose and supported options.

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 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds minimal value beyond listing template types already in the 'template' enum. It does not explain the effect of combining parameters like mood, industry, and visual_style.

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 a specific verb 'Generate' and clearly states the resource 'pre-built page templates for common UI patterns'. It lists many template types and distinguishes from sibling tools like generate_ui_component and generate_form.

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 generating page templates but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like generate_from_template_pack or generate_ui_component. No when-not-to-use or access prerequisites are mentioned.

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