Files Reveal In Finder

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

Annotations provide only openWorldHint=false, idempotentHint=false, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds no behavioral context beyond those, such as what 'reveal in finder' does, whether it requires Finder permissions, or whether it opens a window.

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 short, but shortness here is under-specification rather than conciseness. It contains no front-loaded functional information and fails to earn its place.

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?

Even though the tool has only one parameter and an output schema exists, the description is far too incomplete for an agent to know what the tool does, when to invoke it, or what side effects to expect.

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%, and the description does not explain the required 'path' parameter at all. The agent is left to infer that 'path' is a file path solely from its name, with no clarification of format, scope, or meaning.

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 only restates the tool name and says it is 'Delegated Apple domain tool ... exposed through Apple-Tools-MCP.' It provides no verb, no resource, and no behavior such as revealing a file in Finder. This is essentially a tautology with wrapper metadata.

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 is given about when to use this tool. It does not mention alternatives like apple_reveal_in_finder or files_open_path, nor any conditions that would select this tool over them.

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