Publish recipe bundle

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

Annotations already indicate destructive and open-world behavior. The description adds context about the specific files created, which is helpful but does not detail failure conditions or the effect of the overwrite parameter. It does not contradict annotations.

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, information-dense sentence that clearly front-loads the main action and resource. It is efficient but could benefit from slight restructuring to improve readability.

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 parameter descriptions, the description does not fully cover what the tool does. It omits details on how parameters affect output and fails to explain the interaction between recipe_ids and include_all. The description is incomplete for a publish tool with complex options.

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%, and the tool description does not explain the individual parameters (e.g., name, version, recipe_ids, include_all, overwrite). Parameter names provide some hints, but semantic meaning is largely left to inference, which is insufficient for a tool with 6 parameters.

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 it writes a local, versioned recipe-bundle publish artifact, specifying the three output files: JSON, manifest, and checksum manifest. It distinguishes from siblings like export_recipe_bundle by emphasizing local file output and CI handoff.

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 usage for CI upload or handoff but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like export_recipe_bundle or import_recipe_bundle. No direct 'when not to use' guidance is provided.

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