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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It details the return shape, categorization vocabulary source, and performance considerations (skip sections). It does not cover auth or destructive behavior, but the tool is read-only by nature.

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 front-loaded with the main purpose and uses a structured format with a code block for the return shape. Some details (e.g., YAML loading mechanism) are slightly verbose but not wasteful.

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 7 parameters and no output schema, the description provides a detailed output structure and behavior for some parameters, but fails to document several key parameters. The return shape is well-specified, partially compensating for the lack of output schema.

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 compensate. Only `path`, `min_length`, and `skip_sections` are explained; the other 4 parameters (`categories`, `include_misc`, `max_per_category`, `samples_per_category`) are not mentioned, leaving a significant gap.

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 clearly states it extracts strings and buckets them into semantic categories, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tool `extract_strings` by noting it is a strict superset.

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 by contrasting with `extract_strings` and provides a practical example for large binaries with `skip_sections`. It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the differentiation is clear.

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

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

No annotations provided, so description carries the burden. It states the return type (JSON-serializable dict) but does not disclose potential failures, side effects, or permissions. For a simple read-only check, the information is adequate but minimal.

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?

Two succinct sentences, front-loaded with the essential purpose. No wasted words.

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 tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description covers what it returns and its intended use. It could mention prerequisites (LIEF installation) but is otherwise complete.

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?

No parameters exist, and schema coverage is 100% trivially. The baseline for high coverage is 3, and the description adds no parameter-specific info.

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 clearly states the tool returns LIEF version, supported formats, and status, which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools that analyze binaries rather than check the tool itself.

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 checking dependencies via 'scripts/check_deps.py' but provides no explicit when-to-use or alternatives. Siblings are all different, so differentiation is less critical, but lack of explicit context lowers the score.

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

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

With no annotations provided, the description fully discloses the tool's behavior: it combines get_sections, get_imports_exports, packer signatures, and entropy heuristics. It also lists all possible output labels and evidence structure. This provides strong transparency, though it does not mention potential side effects or performance considerations.

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 well-structured with bullet points for return values and clear section headers. At 18 lines, it is reasonably concise while covering necessary details. A slight reduction in verbosity could improve it, but overall it is effectively organized.

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?

It explains the underlying analyses, lists all possible return values, and describes the evidence object structure. This fully equips an agent to invoke the tool and interpret its results correctly.

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?

The single parameter 'path' is described as 'file to classify', adding minimal meaning beyond its name and type. Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description compensates slightly but not substantially. The parameter is straightforward and requires little additional explanation.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: classifying a native binary's protection class. It enumerates the possible return values with examples, making the purpose highly specific. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_sections and get_imports_exports by combining multiple analyses into a single classification.

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 does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus its siblings, such as calling get_sections or get_imports_exports directly. It implies this tool is for a high-level classification, but lacking explicit usage guidance minimizes its helpfulness for an AI agent deciding between tools.

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

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

Describes output format and truncation behavior, but without annotations, it misses potential error conditions or required permissions.

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?

Provides pagination guidance ('call again with a different offset to see more') and default behavior for max_insns, but lacks explicit when-to-use vs alternatives.

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

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses return structure (fields, totals, truncated flag) and notes stability for backward compatibility. Lacks mention of side effects or performance, but overall transparent.

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?

Concise overall, with a clear front-loaded purpose. The note adds value without excessive verbosity. A slight improvement would be integrating parameter info, but structure is good.

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 2 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers return structure and sibling context well. The only missing element is the min_length parameter explanation, but otherwise complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

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 a single concise sentence without unnecessary words, effectively communicating the tool's purpose. However, its brevity comes at the cost of missing important contextual details, preventing a higher score.

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 tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It does not mention the return format, error handling, or what happens if the input is invalid. A complete description would cover these for reliable agent 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?

The input schema has 0% description coverage for its single parameter 'path'. The description does not explain what 'path' means or any constraints (e.g., file must exist, must be a PE). While the parameter name is somewhat self-explanatory, the tool description fails to add value beyond the schema.

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 clearly states the tool returns Authenticode signature details for PE binaries, specifying the verb 'Return' and the resource 'Authenticode signature details' for a specific file type (PE binaries). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_sections or parse_binary, which address different aspects of binary analysis.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no conditions under which it should or should not be used. Without such context, an agent may misuse it or fail to consider appropriate alternatives.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the types of entries returned (POGO, CODEVIEW) and notes that the POGO entry is third-party-ATD trigger-arming metadata. It also indicates it is a read operation. However, it references internal documentation paths, slightly reducing clarity.

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 long with references to internal docs and fallback scripts that are not essential for tool selection. The first sentence is clear, but subsequent sentences add noise and reduce conciseness.

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 tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is somewhat complete: it specifies return values (debug directory entries) and mentions output key 'kind'. However, it does not fully describe the response structure or other potential fields, leaving gaps for an agent.

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%, so the description must compensate. It does not explicitly describe the 'path' parameter—only indirectly as 'PE debug directory'—leaving the agent to infer it is a file path. This is inadequate given the lack of schema documentation.

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?

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, required permissions, or potential side effects. It only describes the output.

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?

Two concise sentences that front-load the primary action and list key return values without unnecessary detail.

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 lack of output schema and annotations, the description covers basic functionality and return fields but omits details about the dict structure or usage context among many sibling tools.

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?

The description explains that 'path' is a file path for auto-detection, adding meaning beyond the schema which only specifies type and requirement. This compensates for the 0% schema coverage.

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 clearly states it auto-detects format and returns a normalized header dict with specific fields listed, distinguishing it from more specialized sibling tools.

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 this is the primary entry point for binary analysis, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives like get_imphash or get_sections.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It describes walking the string table, IAT, and section table, matching against a catalog, returning category-only labels without naming commercial products, and explicitly states what it does not check (byte-sequence evidence). This exceeds basic behavioral disclosure.

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 moderately concise with a clear structure: purpose, scope, limitations, arguments, and return format. It is front-loaded with the main action. A few extra details (e.g., listing categories) are justified, but it could be slightly more streamlined.

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 provides a detailed return format including fields like primitive, category, evidence_kind, offset, section, and by_category counts. It also mentions truncated. This covers the return value comprehensively for a tool of moderate complexity.

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%, so description must compensate. It explains that max_per_category is a per-category cap with default 100, adding meaning beyond the schema. Path is self-explanatory for a file scan tool. While not exhaustive, it adds sufficient context.

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 clearly states it scans a binary for anti-analysis primitives, lists specific categories, and distinguishes from sibling tools like re-rizin.search_bytes and re-anti-analysis. The verb 'scan' and resource 'binary for anti-analysis primitives' are specific and 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 explains when to use this tool by noting that byte-sequence evidence requires a disasm pass via re-rizin.search_bytes, and that re-anti-analysis is the cross-tool orchestrator. It provides context for alternatives, though it does not explicitly list negative conditions for use.

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