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

With no annotations provided, the description only mentions the output type (tree-shaped dict) but omits any side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits. The behavioral burden is partially met.

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 very short (two sentences) and front-loads the core purpose. The second sentence could be more efficient, but overall it's concise.

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 no output schema, the description should explain the return structure or parameter usage. It only mentions shape (tree-shaped) without details, and parameter roles are absent, making it incomplete for effective use.

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 0%, meaning the input schema provides no descriptions. The tool description adds no information about the parameters (path, format_module, ksy_path), leaving the agent uninformed.

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 states it returns a tree-shaped dict for visualization and distinguishes from the sibling 'parse_with_format' by intent. However, it doesn't fully explain what the tool does with inputs.

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?

It indicates usage when the user wants to see the structure of a file ('show me the structure'), providing clear context. No explicit when-not or alternatives besides the sibling.

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