get_sections

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

Despite no annotations, description discloses output fields and supported formats, giving transparency about what to expect. Does not mention side effects or permissions, but 'get' implies read-only.

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 sentences, front-loaded with key purpose, no unnecessary 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?

With an output schema present, the description covers binary format support, output fields, and typical section names. However, missing parameter documentation reduces completeness.

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 only parameter 'path' is not described in the description. Schema coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning beyond the schema, failing to clarify that path is the binary file path.

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?

Clearly states it returns section list with permissions, virtual vs raw size, and entropy. Mentions supported binary formats and typical section names, effectively distinguishing from 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?

Implies usage for getting section details from supported binary types, but no explicit guidance on when to use this vs alternatives like 'parse_binary' or 'check_lief'.

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