it_ops_generate_iac

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions routing through domain-agent dispatcher with JWT/tenant/company scope, but does not disclose what the action actually does (generates IaC), its side effects (e.g., creates resources), or whether it is read-only or destructive. This is insufficient for a tool likely performing write operations.

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 (3 sentences + args list), but it sacrifices essential information for brevity. Important details about the tool's purpose and behavior are omitted, making it under-informative. Conciseness should not come at the cost of 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?

The tool likely generates infrastructure as code, which is a complex operation. The description fails to explain what the action does, what return values are produced (output schema exists but not described), and how it fits within the sibling workflow tools. It is completely inadequate for an agent to understand when and how to invoke this 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 coverage is 0% (no parameter descriptions in schema). The description adds 'free-text objective' for message and 'structured inputs' for inputs, which adds some meaning but is vague. For a tool with zero schema parameter descriptions, more detail is needed (e.g., expected format, examples, constraints).

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 says 'Run the it_ops domain agent action `generate_iac`', which is tautological. It does not state what 'generate_iac' does (e.g., generate infrastructure as code templates). The description adds routing details but no clear verb+resource differentiation from sibling tools like it_ops_plan_iac or it_ops_open_iac_pr.

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 vs alternatives. No context on prerequisites, when-not-to-use, or typical scenarios. The sibling tools suggest related workflows, but the description offers no differentiation.

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