proxy_register

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

No annotations provided. Description only states registration action, omitting behavioral details like idempotency, overwrite behavior, auth requirements, or failure modes. Insufficient for a registration tool.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded verb, no wasted words. Efficient and to the point.

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?

No output schema, no annotations, 4 params. Lacks context on return value, error handling, uniqueness guarantees, or how agent_dispatch uses the proxy. Incomplete for a complex registration 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 100% with decent field descriptions. Description adds minimal extra meaning ('Register...at a URL'). Falls at baseline 3 given complete schema.

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?

Description clearly states action (register), resource (named proxy tool), and mechanism (at a URL). It also ties to sibling agent_dispatch, distinguishing purpose.

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?

Implies usage via 'callable via agent_dispatch,' but no explicit when-to-use or alternatives among siblings. Lacks exclusions or prerequisites.

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