assemble

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions assembling to bytes but lacks details on error handling (e.g., invalid instructions), output format (e.g., hexadecimal string), side effects, or performance implications. This incompleteness leaves behavioral traits ambiguous.

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 brief—two sentences with no superfluous words. It front-loads the core action and example, then explains the optional parameter efficiently.

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 (2 parameters, no output schema), the description covers the basic function and parameter role. However, it omits details like output format, error states, or handling of multi-instruction input, which would make it fully complete for agent invocation.

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%, yet the description adds meaning: 'code' is exemplified as an instruction string, and 'address' is explained as providing context for relative operands. However, it does not specify the required format for 'address' (e.g., hex, decimal) or any constraints on 'code', so the added value is partial.

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 assembles a single instruction to bytes, with a concrete example ('mov eax,1'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like disassemble (reverse operation) and auto_assemble (handles multiple instructions), making purpose unmistakable.

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 single instructions and notes that 'address' provides context for relative operands. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like auto_assemble, nor does it mention any preconditions or scenarios where this tool is preferred.

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