fixed_asset_accounting__units_of_production

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

No annotations are present, and the description provides no behavioral information such as whether the tool is read-only, destructive, or requires specific permissions. The agent has no insight into side effects.

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 overly concise to the point of being useless. It lacks any meaningful content or structure, failing to earn its place. True conciseness would convey the tool's function in few words, but here it is under-specified.

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 the complexity of fixed asset accounting and the lack of an output schema, the description is completely inadequate. It does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., depreciation expense for the period) or provide any contextual details.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds no meaning to parameters. While parameter names like 'cost', 'residual', 'total_units', and 'units_this_period' are somewhat intuitive, the description should explain their role in the calculation, which it does not.

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 is a tautology, merely repeating the tool's name without specifying a verb or the output. It fails to indicate that the tool calculates units-of-production depreciation.

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 usage guidance is provided. The description does not state when to use this tool versus siblings like 'straight_line' or 'double_declining_schedule', leaving the agent without context for selection.

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