Print Recipe Label Tool

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

With no annotations, the description is the sole source of behavioral disclosure. It only states a basic print action without explaining side effects, prerequisites (e.g., printer availability), success/failure indication, or any other behavior that would help the agent anticipate consequences. This is a significant gap.

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 a single short sentence with no fluff, but it is under-specified. It is not concise in the sense of efficiently covering necessary details; it omits critical context. Under-specification is penalized rather than rewarded as conciseness.

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?

Even though the tool is simple and has an output schema, the description is not complete enough. The parameter is unexplained, and the return behavior is not hinted at. The description does not provide sufficient context for an agent to invoke this tool correctly without additional guessing.

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% and the description does not explain the 'recipe' parameter at all. An agent cannot know whether to provide a name, ID, or other identifier, or what format is expected. The description fails to compensate for the schema's lack of any parameter description.

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 a specific action (trigger printing) on a specific resource (a recipe label), which distinguishes it from sibling print tools like print_stock_entry_label_tool and print_product_label_tool. It is not a tautology and conveys the core purpose clearly.

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 does not mention any conditions, prerequisites, or reference sibling tools, leaving the agent without context for selection.

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