submit_demux_job

Submit a demultiplex workflow job by providing a workflow ID, run ID, and input parameters to separate sequencing reads by sample barcodes.

Args: workflow_id: The workflow identifier run_id: The run to demultiplex inputs: Workflow input parameters

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full behavioral disclosure burden, but it only states the action without side effects, lifecycle, or permissions. The agent cannot infer what happens after submission.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is short and front-loaded with the purpose, but it is too brief to be effective. Conciseness is good, but at the expense of missing critical details.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema, no annotations, and a nested input object, the description fails to explain return values, constraints, expected structure of 'inputs', or relationships to sibling tools. It is incomplete for reliable agent use.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, requiring the description to compensate. The parameter descriptions are minimal and tautological for 'workflow_id' and 'inputs' ('Workflow input parameters'), and only 'run_id' adds modest clarity. The nested 'inputs' object is underspecified.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses the specific verb 'Submit' and the resource 'demultiplex workflow job', clearly distinguishing it from siblings like 'submit_job' or 'submit_pipeline_job'. The purpose is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., submit_job, submit_pipeline_job). No prerequisites, caveats, or exclusion criteria are mentioned.

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