inspect_sound_class

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

With no annotations, the description fully carries behavioral disclosure. It details error handling (ok=False envelopes vs JSON-RPC errors), the synthetic bridge implementation, and naming conventions. This is comprehensive for a read-only inspection 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 a single paragraph, but well-structured: start with purpose and returns, then implementation details, naming, and errors. It is slightly dense but every sentence adds value. Could benefit from bullet points for readability.

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 simple input schema (1 param, no enums, no output schema), the description is very complete. It explains the return structure, error modes, and implementation pattern, leaving no gaps for an agent to interpret behavior.

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 sole parameter 'path' is fully described in the input schema (100% coverage). The description adds value by explaining what the path leads to (the USoundClass and its properties) but does not add new constraints or format details beyond the 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?

The description clearly states it inspects a USoundClass by package path and lists all returned fields (leaf class name, parent, children, FSoundClassProperties). It is distinct from other inspect tools which target different asset types.

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 explains what the tool does but does not provide guidance on when to use it versus other inspect tools (e.g., inspect_asset, inspect_sound_wave). No when-not-to or alternatives are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer context from the tool name.

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