Import VSQX into Canonical Manifest

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

Annotations are all false, providing no behavioral hints. The description mentions 'warnings for unsupported data' but does not disclose important traits like whether it overwrites, permissions needed, or side effects. The overwrite parameter in the schema is not mentioned in the description, and the tool's write nature is only implied.

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 that captures the core functionality without any wasted words. It is appropriately front-loaded and easy to read.

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 tool's complexity (9 parameters, 4 required) and lack of annotation guidance, the description is too sparse. It does not explain the output (though output schema exists) or the import process, and leaves many parameter behaviors ambiguous. The warnings aspect is mentioned but not elaborated.

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 only 44%, so the description must compensate. However, the description only indirectly covers source_path and output_manifest_path. Parameters like title, overwrite, sample_rate, response_format, and accompaniment_gain are left unexplained both in schema and description, leaving the agent without semantical understanding.

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 verb ('Import') and resource ('V3/V4 VSQX vocal score') and specifies the output ('new stable-ID manifest'). It also mentions recording source and warnings, distinguishing it from sibling tools like vocaloid_create_song_manifest which creates manifests from scratch.

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 implies the tool is for importing VSQX files but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. It does not mention alternatives or conditions, leaving the agent to infer from context.

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