analyze_angular_component

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It states what is analyzed but does not mention whether the operation is read-only, prerequisites like a loaded project, error behavior, or the output format. The brief list of aspects is useful but insufficient for full 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?

The description is a single sentence that front-loads the primary action and resource, then lists specific analysis dimensions. Every word earns its place with no redundancy or filler.

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 tool with no output schema, the description gives a good sense of scope but omits details about the return structure or how results are presented. Given the tool's complexity (multiple aspects), it could benefit from a brief note on output format, but the listed dimensions provide adequate context for selection.

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 100% with both 'file' and 'name' having clear descriptions. The tool description adds no parameter-specific information, but the schema already documents them adequately. Baseline 3 applies since the description doesn't need to compensate.

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 uses a specific verb 'Analyzes' with a clear resource 'a component' and enumerates the exact aspects covered (@Input/@Output, providers, constructor DI, lifecycle hooks). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_angular_components (listing) or angular_template_analysis (template-focused).

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 usage when needing to inspect Angular component metadata and dependency injection, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over alternatives (e.g., angular_template_analysis) or any exclusions. The context is inferred rather than stated.

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