electron_explain_process_model

Read-onlyIdempotent

Explains Electron's multi-process architecture—main process, renderer, preload, contextBridge, and IPC patterns—to help developers build features with a clear mental model.

Instructions

Get a clear, version-aware explanation of Electron's multi-process architecture. Covers the main process, renderer processes, preload scripts, utility processes, contextBridge, and how they interact. Useful for understanding the mental model before building features.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
topicYesWhich aspect of the process model to explain
electronVersionNoTarget Electron version for version-specific guidance (e.g. '28', '33', '41'). Defaults to latest.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds that the tool is version-aware and covers specific topics, which are beyond the annotations' safety profile.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose, and no unnecessary words. Every sentence adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a read-only explanation tool, the description covers the topics, version-awareness, and intended use case. No output schema exists, but the return format is implicit. Sufficient for the complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with enums and descriptions for both parameters. The description restates the topic coverage but adds that electronVersion defaults to latest. No significant added meaning beyond schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb 'explain' and identifies the resource 'process model'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like electron_explain_concept and audit tools by focusing on multi-process architecture.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly states it is 'useful for understanding the mental model before building features', providing clear context. It does not exclude other uses or mention alternatives, but the sibling context implies differentiation.

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