Attach docs as assets

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

The description reveals the tool is destructive (matches destructiveHint=true) by mentioning 'copy... and add... to manifest,' which implies manifest modification. However, it does not disclose whether existing docs are overwritten or appended, or any required permissions. The annotations already signal destructiveness, so the description adds limited behavioral context.

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 a single sentence (13 words) that is front-loaded with the core action. It is extremely concise with no wasted words, earning a high score for brevity and clarity.

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 destructive tool with no output schema and 3 parameters (2 required), the description is too brief. It lacks detail on return values (e.g., success indication, updated manifest), parameter semantics, and side effects. The openWorldHint suggests external file interactions, but this is not addressed, making the description incomplete for confident tool 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?

With schema description coverage at 0%, the description should explain parameter meanings, but it only provides a general operation statement. The parameter names ('manifest_path', 'docs', 'asset_dir') are self-explanatory to some extent, but the description does not clarify their roles or expected formats, leaving ambiguity for an AI agent.

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's action: 'Copy documentation files into a package and add them to its manifest docs list.' It specifies the verb (copy/add) and resource (documentation files, package manifest), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'manage_component' or 'inspect_component_manifest'.

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 implies when to use the tool (when needing to attach docs as assets), but provides no explicit guidance on alternatives, prerequisites, or when not to use it. The sibling list includes a broad range of tools, but no contextual cues are given for selection.

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