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

With no annotations, the description bears full burden. It outlines output modes (default, compact, focused) with approximate sizes, and describes the coordinate structure. It does not mention side effects, permissions, or rate limits, but as a read-like creation tool, the disclosure is adequate.

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?

Three short paragraphs (about 100 words) that are front-loaded with the main purpose, followed by usage and output details. Every sentence adds value, no redundancy or fluff.

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 0 required params, 4 optional params, and an output schema, the description covers input options and output modes well. It could briefly name the 12 dimensions, but the output schema likely details that. Overall, sufficient for an AI agent.

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%, so the description fully compensates. It explains that 'intent' is natural language, 'coordinate' is a JSON object with 12 faces (x, y, weight), and that compact/focused control output verbosity. This adds crucial meaning absent from the schema.

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 measures intent across 12 philosophical dimensions and returns a construction basis. It uses specific verbs ('measure', 'return') and a clear resource, and distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on basis creation for dimensional precision.

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 explicitly advises using this tool before constructing prompts where dimensional precision, coherence, or completeness matters. It also explains input options (intent or coordinate) and output modes, but does not directly compare to sibling tools or state when not to use.

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