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

No annotations provided. Description states 'Get' implying read-only behavior, but lacks disclosure of any side effects, authorization needs, or data characteristics (e.g., whether multiple calls are needed, pagination, or performance implications).

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?

Single sentence of 12 words, no redundant information. Information is front-loaded with verb and object. Achieves maximal 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?

Despite low parameter count and no output schema, the description omits essential context: what 'seams' are, the format of the result, and how the two optional parameters influence output. Agent cannot form a correct invocation without additional knowledge.

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 has two parameters (file_or_cluster and limit) with 0% schema description coverage. The description does not explain any parameter, leaving their semantics entirely to schema titles. No information on what values file_or_cluster accepts or how limit affects results.

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 uses specific verb 'Get' and identifies the resource as 'cross-cluster seams', with scope options for a file/cluster or whole repo. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'architecture_summary' or 'boundary_edges', though the term 'seams' is domain-specific and may require prior knowledge.

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 versus alternatives. No mention of prerequisites, when not to use, or typical scenarios. The agent has no context to differentiate this from similar analysis tools.

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