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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Show' but does not confirm read-only behavior, required permissions, or any side effects. The agent must infer safety, which is a significant gap for a debugging tool.

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 concise, front-loading the purpose and including additional metadata (command, source, category). However, the inclusion of a URL and repetition of 'Args' could be slightly streamlined.

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 existence of an output schema, the description does not need to detail return values. However, it lacks context about when this tool is applicable (e.g., only for kernel debugging) or any prerequisites. The link provides a reference, but the description itself is minimally complete.

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 the description compensates by explaining both parameters: session_id as 'The UUID of the session' and filter_str as 'Optional pattern to filter modules'. This adds meaning beyond the schema titles and types, though it could include format or default behavior for filter_str.

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 'Show loaded kernel modules', which is a specific verb and resource. It effectively distinguishes itself from sibling kernel tools like kbase, kchecksec, etc., which cover other kernel information, so there is no ambiguity about its function.

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 does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention when not to use it. While there are no direct sibling tools for kernel modules, the description lacks explicit context on prerequisites or exclusion criteria.

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