search_flet_docs

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

No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavior. It describes a search operation and mentions it returns a file path. While it doesn't explicitly state it's non-destructive, the nature of searching an index implies no side effects. Slightly more detail on safety could be added, but it is adequate.

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 extremely concise with two sentences plus an args line. Every sentence adds value, with no redundant information. It is well-structured and front-loaded.

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 has one simple parameter and an output schema (indicated), the description is complete. It covers purpose, usage context, and parameter semantics sufficiently for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage for the 'query' parameter. The description compensates fully by defining 'query' as 'The keyword to search for' and providing examples, adding meaningful context 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 that the tool searches the official Flet documentation index for a specific topic or control, with examples like 'dropdown'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by noting it should be used first to find the correct file path before calling get_flet_doc.

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 explicitly tells the agent to use this tool first before calling get_flet_doc, providing a direct workflow hint. This gives clear when-to-use guidance in relation to its sibling.

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