model_set_circuit

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the operation but does not mention whether the existing circuit is overwritten, whether the model must already exist, whether the netlist is validated, or what side effects occur on simulation or model state.

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 unnecessary words, and the core action is front-loaded. However, it is so terse that it omits important context, so it is concise but not optimally informative.

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?

With no annotations, no output schema, and only 0% schema description coverage, this minimal description leaves significant gaps: it does not explain prerequisites, overwrite behavior, circuit format, or expected return value. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient context for reliable invocation.

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 only loosely identifies the 'circuit' parameter as a SPICE circuit netlist. It does not explain how model_path should be specified, what format the circuit string expects, or how the two parameters relate, so an agent has limited additional semantic grounding beyond parameter names.

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 verb ('Set') and resource ('Model's SPICE circuit netlist'), making the tool's function immediately clear. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling tool model_get_circuit by direction of operation, so an agent can identify the right tool.

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 gives no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as model_get_circuit or model_create. No conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions are provided, leaving usage entirely inferred from the verb 'Set'.

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