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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses useful behavioral traits like being free, local, and not requiring an account, but lacks details on file format support, error handling, performance limits, or whether the operation modifies the original file. It doesn't contradict any annotations.

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 front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by essential behavioral context in the second. Both sentences earn their place with no wasted words, making it highly efficient and easy to scan.

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 3 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations, but an output schema exists, the description is moderately complete. It covers the basic purpose and key behavioral traits but lacks details on parameters, error cases, or output specifics that the output schema might handle. For a local image tool, more guidance on file handling would be beneficial.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions the 'radius' parameter, adding meaning beyond the schema, but doesn't explain 'file_path' (e.g., supported formats) or 'output_path' (e.g., default behavior when null). With 3 parameters and low coverage, this provides partial but incomplete compensation.

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 specific action ('Round the corners') and resource ('of an image') with a key parameter ('with a specified radius'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like blur_image or crop_image that perform different image modifications.

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 clear context by stating it's a 'Free tool — runs locally, no account needed,' which helps determine when to use it versus cloud-based alternatives. However, it doesn't explicitly mention when not to use it or name specific sibling alternatives for corner-related tasks.

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