legal_privilege_log_generate

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

The description adds no behavioral transparency beyond the annotations. It does not mention side effects, data modifications, permissions, or any risks, despite the destructiveHint annotation indicating the action may be destructive.

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 and includes a simple header and parameter list, but it is not well-structured for an agent. It lacks sections or detailed explanations and reads more like a template than a helpful guide.

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 description is highly incomplete for an agent. It does not explain the action's purpose, expected inputs, output format, side effects, or error conditions, even though an output schema exists. The agent would have to infer almost everything from the tool name.

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?

The parameters 'message' and 'inputs' are described only as 'Free-text objective' and 'Optional JSON string of structured inputs', which is generic and does not explain what content is expected or how they are used. The schema provides no additional descriptions, so meaning remains minimal.

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 states it runs a legal domain agent action named 'privilege_log_generate', but it does not explain what a privilege log is or what generating it entails. The purpose is only vaguely implied by the tool name, not clearly described.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It only mentions routing through a dispatcher, without any context about scenarios, prerequisites, or comparisons to other tools.

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