conversion_gray_code

Convert between binary and Gray code online. Step-by-step conversion process and bit analysis explain the reflected binary code.

Instructions

Menu ID: gray_code. Gray Code Converter. Convert between binary and Gray code (Reflected Binary Code) online. Educational tool with step-by-step conversion process and bit analysis. Use describe_tool with tool_id "gray_code" for full page guidance.

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations are absent, so the description bears full responsibility. It describes the tool as educational and mentions step-by-step output, but does not disclose behavior such as being read-only, required permissions, or side effects. The description implies safe operation but is too vague.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is short but includes filler ('Menu ID: gray_code.') that is irrelevant to the agent. The core purpose is stated succinctly, but the structure could be improved by removing the Menu ID and front-loading the conversion action. It is acceptable but not optimal.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given three parameters with zero schema coverage and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain how to use the tool (parameter details) and what the output format is. The mention of 'step-by-step conversion process' hints at output but is insufficient. The tool is part of a large sibling set, yet no comparative context is given.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the description provides no explanation of the parameters (mode, input, bitWidth). It does not clarify what values are expected (e.g., mode options) or how they affect conversion. The description adds zero semantic value beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states 'Convert between binary and Gray code', specifying the verb (Convert) and resource (Gray code). It adds 'Educational tool with step-by-step conversion process and bit analysis' which further clarifies its purpose as a learning tool. This effectively distinguishes it from other conversion tools by focusing on Gray code.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description mentions 'Use describe_tool with tool_id "gray_code" for full page guidance,' but that is an external reference, not an explicit usage guideline within the description. No context on prerequisites or exclusions.

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