crypto_password_generator

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as idempotency, error handling, or side effects. It simply states the tool generates passwords, leaving the agent unaware of important runtime characteristics.

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 relatively concise at three sentences, but the first sentence 'Menu ID: password_gen' adds little value for an AI agent. It could be more streamlined by focusing solely on functionality and usage hints.

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 has 7 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not specify return values, default behaviors, or how the parameters interact. The reference to describe_tool shifts responsibility but doesn't provide immediate 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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate by explaining parameters in detail. It mentions 'configurable length and character classes' but does not elaborate on individual parameters like includeUppercase, includeLowercase, etc., leaving the agent to infer meanings from names.

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 generates random passwords with configurable length and character classes. It is specific about the verb (generate) and resource (random passwords). While it doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings like passphrase generator, the mention of character classes implies standard passwords, and the name itself is distinct.

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_password_generator_passphrase or crypto_password_generator_pin. It only states the basic functionality and directs to describe_tool for full guidance, which doesn't help the agent decide contextually.

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