generate_functional_objectives

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

Discloses billing, duration, and that refresh replaces prior generated content (not manual). No annotations provided, so description carries the full burden; it addresses key behavioral aspects well.

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?

Two paragraphs, clear first sentence, no fluff. Could be slightly more front-loaded, but overall efficient for the complexity.

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?

Covers process (walking conditions, producing Given-When-Then, specifying tests), prerequisites (Pro plan), and side effects (replacement on refresh). Has output schema, so return values are handled. Adequate for a complex generation tool.

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 67%, with descriptions for model_id and refresh. Description adds context for refresh (re-derives, replaces) but does not describe server_version. Adds marginal value over 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?

Clearly states the action: derive capabilities, functional objectives, and tests from a feature spec. Distinguishes from sibling listing tools like list_capabilities and list_functional_objectives by focusing on generation.

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?

Implies use when generating from a feature spec, mentions Pro plan requirement, billing, and time. Does not explicitly contrast with other generation tools or provide when-not-to-use conditions.

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