search_components

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It reveals the search scope, but says nothing about case sensitivity, match ordering/relevance, pagination beyond the limit cap, or whether results are truncated. For a search tool with zero annotation coverage this is a real gap.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler or restatement of the tool name. Every clause earns its place by specifying search scope.

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 no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema description coverage, the description should carry more: return shape, ordering, and the limit default are all unaddressed. It is adequate on scope alone but incomplete for correct invocation.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does clarify what 'query' matches against (names, descriptions, and mixin sub-fields), which is genuine added value; however, it says nothing about 'limit' beyond the schema's min/max constraint, and no default or result-cap behavior is described.

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?

Names a specific verb (substring search) and resource (components), and enumerates the searchable fields: names, descriptions, and mixin names/signatures/docs/bodies. That distinguishes it from list_components/get_component and from search_functions/search_mixins, though the differentiation is implicit via the resource rather than stated.

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?

No guidance on when to prefer this over list_components, get_component, or search_mixins. The only hint is the word 'substring search', which implies discovery-by-text, but no conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions are given.

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