PAIDEIA__parse_exam_radar_export

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

No annotations exist, and the description gives minimal behavioral context—only that it parses a markdown export. There is no disclosure of side effects, required permissions, or output handling.

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 has three sentences, but the first two are mostly redundant (alias and naming instruction). The core action is in the last sentence, but there is minor waste.

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?

For a simple one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description should still indicate the output format or usage context. It only says 'parse,' leaving the agent without enough information to confidently use it.

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 parameter 'export_md' has 0% schema description coverage, and the description does not clarify its semantics (e.g., that it should contain the markdown content). It merely says 'parse a markdown export,' which is too vague.

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 states 'Parse an OPTIMETA Exam Radar exam-radar:v1 markdown export,' which clearly identifies the verb (parse) and resource (markdown export). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like import_exam_radar or parse_exam_radar_export beyond noting the alias.

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?

No usage guidelines are provided. The description only notes the alias and naming requirement, leaving the agent to infer when to use this tool versus alternatives like import_exam_radar.

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