crypto_argon2_verify

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

No annotations are provided, so the description fully handles transparency. It claims 'support for...verification' but the schema lacks a required hash parameter, indicating the tool may not actually verify. This behavioral contradiction with the tool name and schema undermines transparency.

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 sentence that includes a menu ID, generator claim, and pointer to describe_tool. It is somewhat concise but overloaded with mixed signals, reducing clarity.

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 complexity (5 required parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is severely incomplete. It fails to explain the tool's core function (generate vs. verify), expected output, or prerequisite knowledge, leaving major 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?

The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description only lists parameter names and variants (Argon2i, Argon2id). It fails to explain the roles of 'memory,' 'time,' and 'threads,' leaving the agent without meaningful parameter guidance 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 states 'Argon2 Generator' and 'Generate secure Argon2 password hashes,' but the tool name is 'crypto_argon2_verify,' which implies verification. The input schema lacks a hash parameter, aligning more with generation. This inconsistency makes the purpose misleading and unclear.

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 like 'crypto_argon2' for generation or other verify tools. It mentions 'with verification' but does not clarify usage context or exclusions.

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