add_file_to_knowledge_by_id_api_v1_knowledge

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

With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the action, omitting effects like whether adding a duplicate file is rejected or overwritten, and any required permissions or side effects.

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 very short (one phrase) and concise, but it lacks structure such as separate lines or examples. It is acceptable in brevity but could benefit from additional context.

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?

For a simple tool with 2 parameters and no annotations or schema descriptions, the description should explain parameter meanings and any prerequisites. It fails to do so, making it incomplete for an agent to reliably invoke the tool.

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?

The schema has 0% description coverage for parameters, and the description does not clarify what 'id' and 'file_id' refer to (likely knowledge base ID and file ID, respectively). This leaves ambiguity that could cause incorrect usage.

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 clearly states 'Add File To Knowledge By Id', which identifies the action (add file) and target (knowledge, likely a knowledge base). However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'add_files_to_knowledge_batch_api_v1_knowledge', which presumably adds multiple files.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of preconditions (e.g., knowledge base must exist, file must already be uploaded) or exclusions.

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