create_tapered_section

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

Annotations already indicate this is a non-readOnly, non-idempotent, non-destructive operation, so the description does not need to repeat that. It adds the prerequisite that two sections must already exist, but it does not disclose what happens after creation, whether anything is overwritten, or how the tapered section is stored or applied. No contradiction with annotations exists.

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 front-loaded with a clear one-sentence purpose followed by a tidy Args block. Bilingual text adds length, but each parameter is on its own line and easy to scan. It could be tightened by removing the Chinese duplication, but it remains well structured.

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?

The definition fully documents all input parameters and states the high-level operation, which is sufficient for basic invocation. However, with no output schema and no mention of return values or downstream model effects, an agent cannot predict what the call will produce or whether additional steps are needed to use the tapered section.

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%, and the description compensates by providing semantic glosses for all five parameters, including the default behavior of shear_consider and sec_normalize. This adds meaningful value beyond the bare schema, though the explanations are somewhat shallow—e.g., no ID format or validation details.

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 action and resource: 'Create a tapered section from two existing sections.' The 'from two existing sections' qualifier clearly distinguishes it from other section-creation siblings like create_section or create_polygon_section, so an agent can identify this tool's unique role.

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 the usage context by requiring two existing sections as inputs, but it does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over alternatives such as create_section or add_tapper_section_group. No exclusions or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

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