Instructions

Args: para_id: paraId of the target paragraph. sides: List of sides: "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "between". color: Border color as 6-digit hex (default "000000"). size: Border width in eighths of a point (default 4 = 0.5pt).

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided. The description does not disclose whether borders are replaced or merged, any side effects, or permission requirements. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Concise docstring format with no wasted words. Each sentence serves a purpose, and the Args list is cleanly structured.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers all parameters with defaults and units, but lacks behavioral context (overwriting behavior) and does not mention output schema. Given annotations absence, it is fairly complete for a setter tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema coverage, the description adds essential meaning: explains sides like 'between,' default color and size units, and clarifies para_id as target paragraph. This compensates well for the schema gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description explicitly states 'Set borders on one or more sides of a paragraph,' with a clear verb-resource pair and distinguishes from siblings like set_table_borders.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like set_table_borders or when not to use it. The description implies paragraph-only usage but lacks context on prerequisites or exclusions.

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