knitbrain_classify_task

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It mentions that the tool returns a plan to follow, implying output, but it does not disclose side effects, required permissions, or whether the operation is read-only or destructive. The behavioral profile is minimal.

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 concise, consisting of two short sentences that front-load the core purpose. Every word adds value, and there is no redundancy or fluff.

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 lack of output schema and no parameter descriptions, the description should compensate with richer context. It explains the tool's main function and that it returns a plan, but it omits parameter details, output format, and behavioral nuances, making it insufficient for confident invocation.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the input schema offers no parameter explanations. The description does not clarify the meaning or usage of the two parameters ('description' and 'files'), leaving the agent to guess what information each parameter conveys. This is a critical gap.

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 the tool classifies a task into a tier (inquiry/trivial/standard/complex) and also produces phases and a plan-mode signal. It uses a specific verb ('classify') and resource ('task'), and the output categories distinguish it from sibling tools that handle contexts, agents, sessions, etc.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It neither specifies prerequisites nor contrasts with other knitbrain tools. The instruction 'Follow the returned plan' is an action after invocation, not a usage guideline.

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