aedt_optimetrics_setup_operation

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

No annotations provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'run an allowlisted operation' without explaining what 'allowlisted' means, whether it modifies state, requires permissions, or has side effects. It also does not clarify that the setup must exist, though this is implied.

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 short sentence, which is concise but under-informative. It lacks necessary detail, making it insufficient rather than optimally concise.

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 5 parameters (3 required) and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the purpose of 'args' and 'kwargs', what 'allowlisted' means, or how the output schema relates. An output schema exists but its content is unknown, so the description should cover basic usage 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?

The input schema has 5 parameters (3 required) with 0% description coverage. The description provides no additional meaning for parameters like 'args' or 'kwargs', which are arbitrary containers. Even the 'method' enum (add_calculation, analyze, etc.) is not explained. The description adds minimal value beyond 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?

Description states 'Run an allowlisted operation on an existing Optimetrics setup.' It identifies the verb and resource, but 'allowlisted operation' is vague and does not clearly specify which operations are covered. Among siblings, this tool is one of several Optimetrics-related tools, but the description does not differentiate it from aedt_optimization_operation or aedt_parametric_operation, which also involve running operations.

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. The description does not mention prerequisites, when not to use, or how it compares to sibling tools like aedt_optimetrics_summary or aedt_optimization_operation.

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