detect_circular_dependencies

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

No annotations provided, so description carries the full burden. It indicates a read-only detection operation but does not disclose the format of the results, whether it scans all resources or only loaded ones, or any side effects. Adequate but not detailed.

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?

Single sentence that is to the point with zero wasted words. Front-loads the core purpose and scope efficiently.

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 the lack of output schema and zero parameters, the description is minimally complete. It does not explain return values, performance implications, or whether the analysis covers the entire project or just open resources. Could benefit from more context.

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?

Input schema has zero parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4. The description does not need to add param info, and it adds no extra meaning beyond what is already clear.

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?

Description clearly states the tool detects circular dependencies, specifying the scope as 'scripts, scenes, resources'. This distinguishes it from all sibling tools, which focus on other tasks.

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?

Description explains what the tool does but gives no guidance on when to use it versus alternatives. No explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tools are mentioned, though the context of circular detection makes it reasonably clear.

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