cst_antenna_bowtie

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

No annotations exist. The description discloses the creation action but omits side effects (e.g., whether it modifies existing geometry or requires subsequent simulation setup). It does not contradict any annotations since none are provided.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core action. Every word is necessary and contributes to understanding. No superfluous content.

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 geometry-creation tool with three parameters and no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose but lacks information about what happens to the model state or return values. It is minimally complete but could mention that the discrete port is automatically created.

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 100%. The tool description adds context about the port and arms, but the parameter descriptions in the schema already explain flare angle, arm length, and frequency adequately. The description does not introduce new semantic value beyond the schema.

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 creates a planar bowtie antenna with two triangular arms and a discrete port. Among sibling antenna creation tools, it is distinguished by specifying 'planar bowtie' and the geometry details.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like dipole, patch, or horn antennas. No prerequisites or contextual hints provided.

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