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

With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions 'save and retrieve' but omits 'list' and 'delete' actions. No information about side effects, permissions, or state changes is provided.

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 sentence of 6 words, which is concise but lacks completeness. It front-loads the main intent but omits key actions (list, delete). Every word earns its place, but it is too sparse.

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 description is incomplete given the tool has 3 parameters and an enum of 4 actions. It does not explain how actions relate, what the parameters are for, or what the output looks like. More context on usage flow would improve completeness.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add meaning beyond the schema; it only gives a high-level purpose. The parameters are well-described in the schema, so no additional value from the description.

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 saves and retrieves prompt templates, which matches the actions save and get. However, it does not mention list and delete actions, which are part of the action enum. The purpose is specific enough to distinguish from sibling tools like memory 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 guidelines are provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description only states what it does without any context on appropriate usage scenarios or exclusion criteria. Given the sibling tools are varied, explicit guidance would help.

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