chatlab_import_session

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

No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It omits whether import replaces or appends, validation rules, success/failure responses, or side effects. Only states basic action.

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 is concise but at the cost of completeness. It front-loads the purpose but omits necessary details for a tool with required nested parameters.

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 complexity (2 required params, nested object, no output schema), the description is too minimal. Lacks input/output details, error conditions, and behavioral context that annotations could provide.

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 description should add meaning. It mentions 'ChatLab-format JSON payload' but does not describe payload structure or sessionId constraints. Schema only provides names and types.

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 action (Import), the resource (ChatLab-format JSON payload), and the target (into a session ID). It distinguishes from siblings like chatlab_export_session (export) and chatlab_get_messages (get).

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 like chatlab_export_session or chatlab_create_session. Lacks context on prerequisites, valid scenarios, or 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.
