tyi_import_wallet

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

No annotations provided, so description carries burden. It mentions 'FAST' and security ('operator only'), but lacks disclosure of side effects, preconditions, or error handling. Moderate transparency.

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?

Very short, two sentences plus a note. No wasted words, but 'FAST' is somewhat extraneous. Efficient overall.

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, no annotations, and description omits return values, error cases, prerequisites (e.g., user authentication). For an import tool, this is insufficiently complete.

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 50% (name and secret have descriptions). Description adds context that secret is sensitive and must not go through tyi_chat, but does not explain 'kind' or 'label' beyond schema. Partial value added.

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?

Description clearly states 'Import seed/privkey' and specifically directs when user says 'import/restore' to use this tool over tyi_chat. Verb+resource is explicit.

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?

Explicitly says 'User said import/restore → call this NOT tyi_chat', providing a clear when-to-use and an alternative. Also notes 'Secret via tool param only' for security.

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