osint_barcode_generator

Generate barcodes in formats like UPC-A, EAN-13, Code 128, and Code 39. Customize width, height, text, and quiet zone settings.

Instructions

Menu ID: barcode_gen. Barcode Generator. Generate barcodes online in multiple formats including UPC-A, EAN-13, Code 128, Code 39, and more. Free barcode generator with customization options. Use describe_tool with tool_id "barcode_gen" for full page guidance.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses generation function but omits behavioral traits like rate limits, required permissions, or error handling. 'Customization options' is vague without specifics on limits or defaults.

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 very short but includes extraneous 'Menu ID: barcode_gen.' and a redundant instruction to use describe_tool. Front-loads purpose but wastes space on metadata. Could be more efficient.

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 required parameters (one nested with four sub-params), no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It fails to specify input formats, parameter constraints, or return values. The tool is complex but described minimally.

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 coverage is 0%, yet description adds no meaning to parameters. It does not explain what 'data' should contain (e.g., numeric string for UPC-A), how 'type' maps to format, or how 'settings' customization works. The description fails to compensate for the schema's lack of documentation.

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 it generates barcodes in multiple formats (UPC-A, EAN-13, Code 128, etc.) with customization. It distinguishes from siblings like osint_barcode_scanner (scanning) and osint_qr_code_generator (QR-specific).

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

No explicit when-to-use or alternative guidance. The description implies use for barcode generation but does not state when not to use or mention sibling tools for scanning or QR codes. The call to use describe_tool for full guidance suggests context but shifts responsibility.

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