aedt_maxwell_operation

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must bear full burden. It does not disclose behavioral traits like side effects, permissions, or error conditions. The term 'allowlisted' hints at a constraint, but overall transparency is minimal.

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 efficient sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately concise and front-loaded, though slightly more detail could be added without losing conciseness.

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 that there are 3 parameters, no annotations, and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, how to use args/kwargs, or the meaning of 'allowlisted'. The tool's role among many siblings is only vaguely defined.

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% and the description adds little over schema titles. It hints at possible method values (coil, winding, etc.) but does not explain args or kwargs meaning. The description insufficiently compensates for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 verb 'run' and the resource 'allowlisted Maxwell coil, winding, motion, force, torque, or source operation'. It distinguishes from siblings by specifying Maxwell-specific operations, differentiating from tools like aedt_hfss_operation and aedt_icepak_operation.

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 implies usage for Maxwell operations but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. It provides no exclusions or when-not-to-use guidance, leaving the agent to infer from sibling names.

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