Validate Execution Kit

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

Annotations already mark as read-only and non-destructive. Description adds specific behavioral details (budget, security checks, warnings), aligning with annotations.

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?

Single sentence with front-loaded purpose. Every word adds value; no 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?

No output schema, but mentions return type ('warnings'). Lacks details on error handling, full validation scope, or exact output format. Adequate but not thorough.

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%. Description only hints at 'budget limits' (maps to agent_budget_limit) and 'Terraform or CLI' (maps to execution_type), but does not explain the code parameter or provide full parameter meaning.

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?

Clearly states the verb 'Validate', the resource 'execution kit', and specific actions ('checks budget limits, security configuration, and returns warnings'). Differentiates from sibling tools like synlake_estimate which focuses on estimation.

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?

Provides clear context 'before deploying' indicating appropriate timing. However, lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives among siblings.

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