preflight_bake

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. 'Validate' suggests a non-mutating check, but the description does not explicitly state read-only behavior, side effects, required project state, or what happens on validation failure.

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 front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It immediately states the validation scope.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. However, with zero annotation coverage and no schema parameter descriptions, the definition still leaves gaps around usage context and the semantics of texture_sets.

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 only parameter, texture_sets, is only indirectly referenced by the phrase 'selected Texture Sets'. The description does not explain whether the values are names, IDs, paths, how null behaves, or what 'selected' means in this context.

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 uses a specific verb, 'Validate', and names concrete resources: Texture Sets, mesh inputs, UV tiles, and expected mesh maps. It is clear what the tool does, but it does not explicitly distinguish itself from nearby siblings such as inspect_baking or start_bake.

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 gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, prerequisites, or alternatives. The name 'preflight_bake' hints that it should be used before baking, but the description itself never states this or contrasts it with inspection/configuration tools.

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