diplomatic_scenario

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It states that the tool generates fictional content and lists the components, but does not explicitly mention that it is non-destructive or that it does not access external data. It conveys the main behavior without delving into edge cases or side effects.

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, well-structured sentence that immediately states the action and output components. It contains no filler or redundancy.

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?

While there is no output schema, the description sufficiently explains the generated content's key elements. However, it could be slightly more explicit about the structure of the scenario and the optional 'dispute' parameter, though the schema covers that. Overall, adequate for a simple generator.

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 input schema already provides 100% parameter descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no extra parameter-level detail beyond what the schema provides, such as syntax or formatting.

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 uses the specific verb 'Generate' and clearly identifies the resource as a 'Star Trek diplomatic negotiation scenario' with three concrete output components (positions, demands, leverage points). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like battle_simulator or away_team_builder.

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 implies use when a diplomatic negotiation scenario is needed, but provides no explicit guidance on when to choose this over related tools such as battle_simulator or holodeck_program. There are no stated exclusions or alternatives.

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