add_initial_tension_load

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

Annotations only indicate the tool is not read-only, not idempotent, and not destructive, which provides minimal safety context. The description does not explain side effects, required model state, units, or how the load is applied, leaving the agent without meaningful behavioral expectations beyond the verb 'Apply'.

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 reasonably concise, with the core action front-loaded and parameters listed compactly. The argument list is repetitive with the schema but each entry is short and adds translation value, so no major waste.

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 seven parameters, no output schema, and no annotations explaining behavior, the description is incomplete for correct invocation. It does not explain how the load is calculated, what prerequisites exist (e.g., elements and load cases must already be created), or how tension_type and application_type affect the result.

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 lists all seven parameters with Chinese translations and clarifies stiffness as 'Stiffness reduction (刚度参数)', adding some meaning beyond the schema titles. However, it omits units, allowed values, and the relationship between tension_type and application_type, so coverage remains shallow.

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 and resource, 'Apply initial tension load (初拉力荷载)', which clearly identifies the tool's function. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools such as apply_prestress or add_cable_length_load, leaving the agent to infer the distinction.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like apply_prestress, add_cable_length_load, or assign_tendon_elements. The description only lists arguments and does not mention prerequisites, typical scenarios, or exclusions.

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