add_autoload

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

The description says 'Add an autoload singleton' but does not disclose behavioral traits beyond that. No annotations are provided, so the description should cover side effects (e.g., modifies project.godot), permissions needed, or whether it overrides existing singletons. It lacks these details.

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 a single concise sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and efficiently conveys the purpose.

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?

For a simple tool with two parameters and no output schema, the description is adequate but incomplete. It lacks details on error scenarios (e.g., duplicate names, invalid paths), project state requirements, and the nature of the modification (global vs local). Given low complexity, it meets minimum viability but has 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 100% with clear parameter descriptions ('Autoload name (becomes a global singleton)' and 'Script or scene path'). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 'Add an autoload singleton to the project', using a specific verb ('Add') and resource ('autoload singleton'). It differentiates from sibling tools like 'add_autoload_config' which implies configuring an existing autoload.

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 use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'add_autoload_config'), no prerequisites mentioned (e.g., project must be open, names must be unique), and no exclusions provided. The description implies usage only by its name and purpose.

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