generate_gallery_layout

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It hints that validation occurs, but does not say what happens on validation failure, whether output_path causes a file to be written, or what the DSL is validated against. For a generation tool with zero annotation coverage this is a significant gap.

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?

A single tight sentence that front-loads the binding action. It is efficient, though cramming two operations ('bind' and 'validate') into one clause slightly muddies the primary action.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be described, but with no annotations, 0% parameter coverage, and a nested object parameter, the description is too thin for an agent to invoke this correctly. It leaves the DSL format, slot semantics, and failure behavior unspecified.

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 0% and there are three parameters including a nested worksheet_slots object. The description vaguely maps 'worksheet names' to worksheet_slots and 'Gallery template' to template_name, but explains nothing about the slot structure (string or array), the required keys, or output_path's role.

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 names a specific verb and resource: binding worksheet names to a Gallery template and validating the layout DSL. It is clear what the tool does, but it does not differentiate itself from close siblings like generate_layout_json, generate_layout_yaml, or diff_template_gap.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus the sibling layout generators or template tools. No prerequisites, no exclusions, no mention of what a 'Gallery template' must be in order for this to apply.

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