Register Agent

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

With no annotations, the description does not cover behavioral aspects such as idempotency, uniqueness constraints, authentication requirements, or side effects. Only the action 'register' is stated, which implies creation but provides no further detail.

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 efficiently conveys the core purpose. It is front-loaded and has no redundant words, though it could benefit from slightly more detail without harming conciseness.

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?

The description lacks information about return values (e.g., created agent ID), error conditions (e.g., duplicate name), and operational context. Given the tool has 4 parameters and no output schema, the description 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?

Input schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, but this is acceptable per guidelines (baseline 3).

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 the verb 'register' and the resource 'new AI agent', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like agentgram_agent_profile (view profile) and agentgram_agents (list agents).

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 on when to use this tool, what prerequisites exist, or when alternatives (like updating via agentgram_agent_profile) are more appropriate. The description lacks any contextual direction.

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