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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, but it only reveals the dependency on python-docx and cairosvg. It does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, whether it automatically generates renders, or any side effects like creating temp files or modifying session state, leaving significant behavioral ambiguity.

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 two concise sentences: one stating the purpose and one listing dependencies. Both sentences earn their place, with no fluff or redundant information.

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?

The schema covers parameter details, but the description lacks usage context and alternative differentiation. It does mention the report contents, which is helpful, but does not explain prerequisites like a completed design review or the difference from HTML reports, leaving moderate gaps for a generation tool.

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%, so each parameter is already well documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 generates a DOCX design review report with embedded renders, schematic images, and findings. The verb 'Generate' and specific resource 'DOCX design review report' make it distinct from typical analysis tools, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with sibling report generators like the HTML version.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus the similar HTML or generic report tools. The only implicit hint is the 'DOCX' in the description, but there is no explicit when-to-use or alternative comparison.

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