text_lorem_ipsum

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It mentions customizability but does not disclose output format, error handling, or limitations. For a simple generator, more transparency is needed.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose. The reference to describe_tool adds minor redundancy but overall efficient.

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?

With 4 required params, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should be more complete. It explains two params, ignores the other two, and redirects to describe_tool for full guidance, leaving gaps.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%. Description hints at two parameters (type, count) via 'customizable word, sentence, or paragraph counts', but does not explain 'startWithLorem' or 'format'. Partially compensates but insufficiently.

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 it generates Lorem Ipsum placeholder text for mockups and testing, with a specific verb+resource. It does not explicitly distinguish from sibling 'text_lorem_ipsum_variations', but the purpose is clear.

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?

It gives context for when to use (dummy text for mockups, designs, testing) but lacks explicit exclusions or alternatives. The sibling list includes many text generators, but no guidance on choosing this one.

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