Behavior2/5

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

Minimal disclosure; 'install/register' implies adding an image, but no details on idempotency, overwrite behavior, or system impact. No annotations compensate.

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?

Single sentence, front-loaded, but overly terse; more content needed for usefulness.

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 low complexity, the description barely covers purpose and parameter, omitting return value and differentiation from siblings.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must supplement. It mentions 'optionally one path' for image_path, but does not explain what the path refers to or behavior when null.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description uses clear verbs 'Install/register' and specifies the purpose 'so templates can use them'. It distinguishes from sibling image tools by indicating action, though not explicitly differentiating from image_upload.

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 like image_upload or template_create. The phrase 'optionally one path' hints at usage but lacks context.

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