stellaris_ui_hint

Maps a UI label, tooltip, or resource name from a Stellaris screenshot to the wiki page that explains it, helping you resolve unfamiliar on-screen terms.

Instructions

Map a UI label / tooltip / resource name seen in a screenshot to the wiki page that explains it. Call this when the user pastes a screenshot and you can read text off it.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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 transformation performed (mapping, not searching) which is useful, but says nothing about what happens on a miss, how confident the mapping is, or whether it costs a live fetch. Adequate but thin for a zero-annotation tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, purpose first, trigger second, zero filler. Every clause earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a single-parameter lookup with no output schema, the description tells the agent the input shape and the intended output target (the explaining wiki page). A brief note on the return shape would make it complete, but the essential call information is present.

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

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and the schema already documents 'term' with three concrete examples, so the description adds no parameter-level information beyond it. Baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (map) plus the exact resource pair: a UI label/tooltip/resource name to the wiki page that explains it. This is clearly distinct from stellaris_get_page or stellaris_search in spirit, but the description never names those siblings, so differentiation is left to the agent's inference.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The second sentence gives an explicit trigger condition: the user pasted a screenshot and text is readable from it. That is a clear when-to-use, but there is no when-not and no alternative named, so it falls short of a 5.

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