pwndbg_heap_config

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states 'Show,' implying a read-only operation, but does not explicitly disclose whether there are side effects, authorization requirements, or rate limits. The description is minimal and lacks behavioral context beyond the verb.

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 short and front-loaded with the purpose. It includes metadata (command name, source, category) and a link to external documentation. Every sentence serves a purpose, though the metadata could be considered non-essential for an agent.

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?

The tool has an output schema (not shown), so return values don't need explanation. The description covers the purpose and both parameters, but lacks details on what 'heap-related' means or how filtering works. The link to documentation helps, but the description could be more complete for a standalone understanding.

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 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It provides basic descriptions: 'The UUID of the session' for session_id and 'Optional pattern to filter config options' for filter_pattern. This adds meaning beyond the schema titles but is not detailed (e.g., no format or constraints).

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 tool 'Shows heap-related pwndbg configuration,' which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like pwndbg_config by specifying 'heap-related,' but does not explicitly differentiate or explain the scope relationship, so it's not a 5.

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 mentions the filter_pattern parameter as 'Optional pattern to filter config options,' providing some guidance on use. However, it does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., pwndbg_config for general config), nor does it give context about prerequisites or when not to use it.

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