legal_smokeball_orchestration

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

No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions routing through the dispatcher under scope, but omits side effects, permissions, rate limits, or response details. With zero annotations, this is insufficient.

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 short and includes an Args section, but lacks front-loading of critical purpose. Every sentence earns its place, yet overall substance is thin.

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 tool is an orchestrator, the description omits key context: what the action does, what success looks like, error handling, or return values. Even with an output schema present (not shown), the description fails to provide a complete picture for invocation.

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%, requiring the description to add meaning. It restates parameter names ('Free-text objective for the action', 'Optional JSON string of structured inputs') with minimal elaboration, adding little beyond the schema titles.

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 'Run the legal domain agent action smokeball_orchestration' but does not explain what the orchestration does, leaving the tool's purpose vague. It fails to distinguish from sibling smokeball tools like smokeball_create_matter or smokeball_search.

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 alternatives. It neither describes appropriate contexts nor excludes scenarios, leaving the agent without decision criteria.

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