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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states it is an approve action (mutation) but does not disclose side effects, required permissions, idempotency, or what happens after approval (e.g., triggers deployment). This is insufficient for a mutation tool.

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 with no wasted words. It is front-loaded and immediately communicates the tool's purpose.

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 tool is simple (one required param, no output schema), so the description is adequate but could mention result or error conditions. It does not explain what the response indicates or whether the approval succeeded.

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 coverage is 100% (one parameter 'id' described as 'Deployment ID'). The description does not add meaning beyond the schema; it only clarifies that the deployment is in a manual approval state. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 action ('approve') and the resource ('deployment that is waiting on manual approval'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'lattice_deploy_stack' (which triggers a deployment) and 'lattice_rollback_deployment' (which reverts).

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 when to use the tool: when a deployment is waiting on manual approval. This is specific enough to guide usage, though it does not explicitly mention when not to use or provide alternatives.

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

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

No annotations provided; description only states 'create' without disclosing side effects (e.g., token secret returned once, immediate activation, permission requirements). Minimal behavioral context.

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 concise sentence with no unnecessary words. Perfectly front-loaded.

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?

Lacks information about return value (e.g., token secret shown only once), success behavior, or prerequisites. For a create tool without output schema, context is incomplete.

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 coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions. Tool description adds no extra meaning beyond schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states verb 'create', resource 'API token', and usage context 'for AI tools or automation'. Differentiates from siblings like lattice_create_deploy_token and lattice_create_worker_token.

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?

Implied usage via 'for AI tools or automation' but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this vs other token creation tools, or any prerequisites.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the action and config details but does not disclose side effects, required permissions, uniqueness constraints, or what the response contains. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.

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 extremely concise with two sentences, no fluff. Every sentence adds information: the first states the action, the second clarifies the config parameter's nature. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded.

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 create tool, the description omits expected output (e.g., returns created destination), prerequisites, or constraints. With no output schema, the description should at least hint at the return value. It also does not address error conditions or idempotency, leaving gaps for an AI agent.

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 coverage is 100%, but the description adds significant value by explaining that 'config is a free-form object whose shape depends on type' and provides a concrete example (S3 with bucket, region, endpoint, credentials). This guides the user beyond the generic schema description.

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 'Create a backup destination' using a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling CRUD tools like list, get, update, delete by focusing on creation. The example of config shape further clarifies the purpose.

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 implicitly indicates when to use (to create a new backup destination) but does not explicitly mention alternatives or prerequisites. Given the tool name and context, it is adequate but lacks explicit guidance.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the record-only behavior and the string input requirement for JSON fields, but omits other behavioral details like authorization needs, error handling, or idempotency. This is adequate but leaves room for improvement.

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?

Two sentences with zero wasted words. The first sentence states the primary action, the second clarifies the behavioral scope and data format. Front-loaded and efficient.

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?

Given 14 parameters fully described in the schema, the description covers the critical behavioral context (record vs. deploy, string format for JSON fields). It lacks output description, but since no output schema exists, this is a minor gap for a creation tool that likely returns the new container ID.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining that JSON-shaped fields (volumes, env_vars, port_mappings, health_check) are passed as strings, which is not obvious from the parameter descriptions alone. This elevates the score.

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 action 'Add a container definition to a stack' and distinguishes from actual deployment with 'Creates the record only — deploy the stack to actually start it.' This verb+resource combination is specific and differentiates from sibling tools like lattice_deploy_stack.

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 explicitly tells when to use this tool (to create the record) and when not (to start it, use deploy). It also provides a practical tip about JSON-shaped fields being passed as strings. While it doesn't enumerate alternatives, the deployment distinction is sufficient for most use cases.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It states that a real container is created and that using a port already in use yields a 409 conflict. However, it omits other important behaviors: success response, effects on existing resources, authentication needs, and whether the operation is idempotent. This is insufficient for a 15-parameter provisioning tool.

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 two sentences, each serving a purpose. The first sentence states the primary action concisely. The second provides actionable guidance on a key parameter. There is no redundancy or filler. It is front-loaded with the core purpose.

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?

Given the complexity (15 parameters, no output schema), the description is brief. It explains the port behavior but does not describe the success return value, common error scenarios beyond 409, or how to interpret the result. For a tool with many optional parameters, the description is minimally adequate but could provide more context about defaults and outcomes.

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%, providing baseline meaning for all parameters. The description adds meaningful context beyond the schema: it explains the recommended usage for `port` (auto-allocation) and the error handling (409 on conflict). It also frames the overall action as creating a 'real container'. This adds value beyond the schema definitions.

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 action ('Provision a database instance on a worker') and mentions it creates a real container. It is distinct from listing or updating database instances, but does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool `lattice_create_container` which also creates containers. Thus, it is clear but lacks explicit sibling differentiation.

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 provides specific guidance on the `port` parameter (recommendation to omit it and behavior on conflict: returns 409). However, it does not give broader usage context, such as when to use this tool versus alternatives like `lattice_create_container`, or prerequisites like requiring a worker. Some guidance is present but incomplete.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states that the snapshot is taken instantly and outside schedule, but it does not mention any side effects (e.g., performance impact, idempotency, error handling, or what happens if a snapshot already exists). For a creation action, more transparency is needed.

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 with no extraneous information. It is highly concise and front-loaded with the key action and context, earning a top score for efficiency.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one required parameter, no output schema), the description provides the core functionality. However, it lacks details about the snapshot process (e.g., is it asynchronous?), what the tool returns, and any constraints. It is minimally complete but could be more informative.

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 coverage is 100% with a single 'id' parameter described as 'Database instance ID'. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema, such as how to obtain the ID or constraints. Since the schema already provides adequate documentation, this is at baseline level (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 specifies the action ('take a snapshot'), the resource ('database instance'), and the context ('now, outside its schedule'). It distinguishes from related sibling tools like list, restore, or delete snapshots, and implies it is an on-demand operation separate from scheduled snapshots.

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 indicates that the tool takes a snapshot immediately, outside the normal schedule, which implies on-demand use. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this vs. scheduling a snapshot, nor does it mention prerequisites (e.g., database must exist) or when not to use it. Some guidance is implied but not explicit.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that plaintext is returned only once, the server masks it to first two characters, the usable value never enters the transcript, and the env var LATTICE_ALLOW_SECRET_VALUES=1 can bypass masking. This is excellent transparency for a sensitive token creation.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose. Every sentence provides necessary information without redundancy. Highly concise and well-structured.

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?

Given no output schema, the description explains the return behavior (plaintext once, masking) and usage. It could mention error cases or idempotency, but it is fairly complete for a create action.

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 coverage is 100%, so parameters are already documented. The description adds context: an example token name 'github-actions', and the URL pattern where the token is used. This adds value beyond the schema.

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 starts with 'Create a deploy token for a stack,' which is a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like lattice_list_deploy_tokens and lattice_delete_deploy_token.

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 explains the behavior (plaintext returned once, masking, env var override) and gives usage context (URL format). It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the purpose is clear enough.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It only says 'Create', omitting details like whether it overwrites an existing key, if it requires specific permissions, or what happens on duplicate.

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, efficient sentence with no wasted words. However, it may be overly minimal for a tool that could benefit from more context.

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?

With no output schema and only a terse description, the tool lacks completeness. Important details (e.g., return value, error behavior, idempotency) are missing, making it harder for an agent to use correctly.

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?

The input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions (key, value, is_secret). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 ('Create') and resource ('global environment variable'), clearly stating the tool's action. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools that list, update, or delete environment variables.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., lattice_update_env_var for updating an existing variable). No exclusions or context are given.

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

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

No annotations exist, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as authentication needs, side effects, or response behavior.

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, which is concise and includes the core purpose. However, it could be slightly more informative.

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?

With 5 parameters and no output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not explain what the tool returns, error conditions, or any operational context.

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 two sentences: first clearly states purpose, second adds crucial behavioral details. No redundant information, well front-loaded.

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?

Given the simple two-parameter tool without output schema or annotations, the description covers purpose, behavior, and security. Minor omission: no mention of idempotency or error states, but acceptable for the complexity.

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 provides 100% description coverage for both parameters (id and name). The tool description adds no new semantic meaning beyond linking id to 'worker' and name to 'token name', so baseline of 3 applies.

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 tool creates a registration token for a worker, and the context of siblings like lattice_list_worker_tokens and lattice_delete_worker_token helps differentiate it as a creation action.

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 the tool is used when needing a worker registration token, but does not explicitly compare to alternatives or specify when not to use it, lacking negative guidance.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the action but omits side effects, required worker state, permissions, or whether the volume is immediately usable. The agent is left to infer behavior from the name and schema.

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 very short (5 words) and contains no superfluous information. It gets straight to the point. While extremely concise, it could be slightly expanded without losing efficiency.

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?

Given the simplicity of the tool (create a volume with three straightforward parameters) and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It fails to mention that the worker must exist or that the volume is Docker-local, but for a basic CRUD create, it is sufficient alongside the schema.

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%, so each parameter's purpose is already explained in the input schema. The description adds no additional meaning or context for the parameters. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 action 'Create' and the resource 'Docker volume on a worker', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like lattice_delete_worker_volume or lattice_list_worker_volumes. However, it could be more specific by mentioning that the volume is created for a specific worker identified by the 'id' parameter.

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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., creating a network), nor does it specify prerequisites or conditions. The agent receives no context about appropriate use cases.

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

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

Without annotations, the description warns that 'remove' destroys the container and data survival depends on volumes or snapshots. This adds critical safety context. However, it doesn't disclose other behaviors like idempotency or error states for start/stop/restart.

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 sentence with critical warning about data destruction. No wasted words; all information is front-loaded and earns its place.

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?

Given the tool's simple actions and no output schema, the description covers the main behavior and the destructive case. However, it could mention expected return values or error behavior for completeness.

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 descriptions already cover both parameters (id and action) with clear labels. The tool description does not add extra parameter-level detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies per schema coverage >80%.

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 (start, stop, restart, remove) and resource (database instance's container), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like lattice_stop_container by targeting database containers specifically.

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 for database container lifecycle, but does not explicitly compare with sibling tools (e.g., lattice_stop_container) or provide when-not-to-use guidance. Context allows inference but lacks explicit direction.

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

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

No annotations provided; description only states 'Delete' which implies destructive action but does not disclose side effects, irreversibility, or required permissions. Minimal behavioral disclosure.

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 with four words, extremely concise and front-loaded. Contains no redundant information.

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 complexity, description fails to mention that token must exist, that deletion is irreversible, or how to obtain the token ID. Incomplete for safe usage.

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

No guidance on when to use this tool, prerequisites (e.g., token must exist), or alternatives. Lacks context for proper invocation.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses that instances pointing to the backup destination lose their target and labels the action as 'Destructive'. This provides essential behavioral context but lacks details on irreversibility, permission requirements, or potential cascading effects beyond instances.

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?

Two sentences with no wasted words. First sentence states the core action, second adds a critical side effect. Front-loaded and efficient.

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 simple delete tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential points: what is deleted, its destructive nature, and the consequence for associated instances. Could be slightly improved by explicitly stating that deletion is irreversible, but 'destructive' implies that.

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 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 clearly states the action 'Delete a backup destination', which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling delete tools (e.g., delete_stack, delete_api_token) by naming the resource type. However, it could be more precise by specifying that deletion is by ID.

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 like lattice_update_backup_destination or lattice_list_backup_destinations. Does not mention prerequisites (e.g., need to reassign instances before deletion) or situations where it should not be used.

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 covers purpose and a key sibling distinction for a simple one-parameter tool. It could mention prerequisites or undoing the operation, but the core information is present.

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?

The schema already describes the sole parameter 'id' as 'Container ID' (100% coverage). The description does not add further semantic details about the parameter.

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 specifies 'Delete a container definition and its running container', clearly stating the verb and resource. It also contrasts with 'lattice_stop_container', distinguishing it from a sibling tool.

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?

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?

Given the simplicity of the tool (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers the core needs: purpose, destructive impact, and a safety net. It lacks details on return values or error scenarios, but those are not critical for this single-action tool.

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?

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

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behaviors. It states 'Any data stored in it is destroyed' and labels the operation as 'Destructive', which is helpful. However, it does not mention required permissions, effects on running containers, or whether the volume must be unmounted first. Partial but adequate.

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 three short, front-loaded sentences. The first sentence directly states the action, and subsequent sentences add key consequences. Every sentence is meaningful with zero waste.

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?

Given no output schema and two simple parameters, the description covers the core action and its destructive consequence. It could mention return value format or prerequisites (e.g., volume not in use), but for a straightforward deletion, it is largely sufficient.

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 coverage is 100% (both id and name have descriptions). The description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema provides. According to guidelines, baseline is 3 when coverage is high, and no extra value is added.

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 action: 'Delete a Docker volume on a worker'. It identifies the resource (volume) and the verb (delete), and the mention of destroyed data adds clarity about the effect. This distinguishes it from sibling creation or listing tools like lattice_create_worker_volume.

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?

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 simple tool with two required parameters and no output schema, the description covers the purpose and usage scenario adequately. It is missing details about the return value or confirmation of the operation, but the tool's simplicity and the clear sibling distinction make it fairly 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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage: 'id' is described as 'Worker ID' and 'name' as 'Container name to force-remove'. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what the schema already provides, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 action ('force-remove a container'), the target ('on a worker by name'), and the purpose ('bypassing the normal lifecycle'). It effectively distinguishes from the sibling tool 'lattice_remove_container' by emphasizing the forced nature and the wedged container scenario.

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 explicitly specifies when to use this tool: 'For clearing a wedged container that ordinary remove will not shift.' This provides clear context. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention other alternatives beyond the normal remove, but the guidance is sufficient for the intended use case.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavior. It indicates a read-only retrieval of anomalies but does not disclose return format or any potential side effects. For a simple getter, this is adequate but not rich.

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

With no annotations, the description highlights that this tool is unsecured and un-audited, contrasting with the replacement. It does not detail other behaviors like authentication requirements or rate limits, but the deprecation context mitigates the need.

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 with deprecation warning and replacement instruction. Every word is necessary and front-loaded.

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?

Given the deprecation, the description suffices for basic understanding but does not specify the return format of the credentials, which a user may still need if they invoke the tool despite the warning.

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 coverage is 100% with a single well-described parameter. The description adds no extra meaning to the parameter beyond what the schema already provides.

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 tool 'returns root credentials from a plain GET' and distinguishes itself from the audited and scoped replacement lattice_reveal_database_credentials.

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 explicitly advises using the replacement tool instead, providing clear guidance against using this deprecated tool. However, it does not elaborate on when one might still need to use this tool.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses it returns lifecycle history covering specific events, but lacks information about auth requirements, rate limits, or whether it is read-only. The read-only nature is implied by 'history' but not explicitly stated.

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 two concise sentences. The first defines the tool's output, the second gives usage guidance. No filler or redundant information.

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?

Given the tool has 3 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description sufficiently explains purpose and usage context. However, it could mention return order (e.g., chronological) or how the limit parameter affects results. Still, it is adequate for an agent to understand the basic function.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds context that the 'id' is a database instance ID, but does not provide additional meaning beyond what the schema offers. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 'Get' and the resource 'database instance's lifecycle history', listing specific event types (status transition, failure, etc.). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like lattice_get_database_instance or lattice_get_database_logs by positioning itself as the starting point for investigating unexpected states, which is unique.

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 provides explicit usage context: 'START HERE when a database is in an unexpected state: this is what explains how it got there.' This tells the agent when to use it, though it does not specify when not to use or name alternatives directly.

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

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

With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. The verb 'Get' suggests a read-only operation, but no explicit statement about side effects, authentication requirements, or rate limits is included. The description is adequate but lacks 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?

A single sentence that is front-loaded with the core action ('Get one database instance') and efficiently enumerates returned attributes. No wasted words.

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?

Given the simplicity of the tool (one parameter, no nested objects, no output schema), the description adequately lists the returned fields. It could optionally include output schema or more detail, but is sufficiently complete for the tool's complexity.

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?

The single parameter 'id' is fully described in the schema. The tool description adds value by listing the fields returned, which compensates for the lack of an output schema and provides meaning beyond the schema.

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 it retrieves a single database instance and lists specific attributes (engine, port, limits, snapshot schedule, retention, backup destination), effectively distinguishing it from sibling tools that list all instances or get credentials.

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 use when details of a specific instance are needed, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like lattice_get_database_credentials or lattice_get_database_connection. No exclusions or context are given.

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

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

No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions the tool returns lifecycle messages with specific content (provisioning progress, failure reasons) but does not indicate whether it is read-only, what permissions are needed, or if there are rate limits or side effects. Minimal transparency beyond basic purpose.

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, well-structured sentence (17 words) that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose. No extraneous words or repetition.

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?

Given no output schema and no annotations, the description should provide more context about return format, pagination, or relationship to sibling tools. It omits details on the structure of lifecycle messages (e.g., timestamps, levels) and how this differs from lattice_get_database_events or lattice_get_database_logs. Overall incomplete.

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?

The input schema covers 100% of parameters (id, limit). The description adds context about returned content but does not elaborate on parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the description adds marginal value.

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 tool retrieves worker-emitted lifecycle messages for a database container, specifying the content includes provisioning progress and failure reasons. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like lattice_get_database_logs (general logs) and lattice_get_container_lifecycle (non-database lifecycle).

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of when not to use it (e.g., for non-database containers) or how it differs from similar tools like lattice_get_database_events or lattice_get_container_lifecycle.

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

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

The description states it returns stdout/stderr, but with no annotations, it lacks detail on behavior such as log ordering, pagination limits, permission requirements, or that logs are real-time or historical. It is not misleading but could be more transparent.

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?

Two sentences with no filler: first states purpose, second provides usage context. Every word earns its place.

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?

With no output schema and 3 parameters, the description is adequate for a simple log retrieval tool but does not explain return format, pagination, or how to interpret the logs. Could be more complete given the complexity of diagnosing failures.

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 coverage is 100%, so parameters are documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, which is acceptable per baseline guidelines.

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 action ('Get a database container's stdout/stderr') and the resource ('database container'), distinguishing it from sibling `lattice_get_database_events` by contrasting logs vs events.

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?

Explicitly recommends using together with `lattice_get_database_events` for diagnosing failed instances, providing clear usage context. However, it does not mention other alternatives like `lattice_get_database_lifecycle_logs` or container log tools.

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

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It implies a read operation but does not mention side effects, auth requirements, error handling (e.g., deployment not found), rate limits, or any additional context beyond 'details including container-level status'.

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, front-loaded with action and resource. Concise but could potentially include more context without becoming verbose.

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 simple get tool with no annotations, output schema, or rich context, the description leaves gaps. It does not specify what 'deployment details' entails beyond container-level status, nor does it indicate return format or error scenarios.

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?

Only one parameter (id) with schema description 'Deployment ID'. The tool description adds no further meaning, but schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3 applies.

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 tool retrieves deployment details including container-level status. It uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('deployment'), and distinguishes from siblings like lattice_list_deployments (which lists) and lattice_get_deployment_logs (which gets logs).

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 (e.g., lattice_get_deployment_logs, lattice_get_stack). No mention of prerequisites or when not to use it.

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

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

No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the types of events and mentions 'timing', but does not indicate whether the operation is read-only, requires specific permissions, or has any side effects. For a simple log retrieval tool, this is adequate but not exhaustive.

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 resource and purpose, then lists key events. No unnecessary words; every word contributes value.

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?

Given a single required parameter and no output schema, the description sufficiently explains what the logs contain and covers the event types. It could benefit from mentioning the output format (e.g., array of objects with timestamp and event), but it is nearly complete for a simple retrieval tool.

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?

Only one parameter (id) with schema coverage 100%. The description does not add meaning beyond the schema's 'Deployment ID' label. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the parameter is simple and well-documented in the schema.

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 specifies a clear verb ('Get') and resource ('deployment logs'), and enumerates the types of events included (pull, create, start, swap, rollback). This differentiates it from sibling tools like lattice_get_deployment (which returns deployment details) and lattice_get_audit_log (which might cover broader events).

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., lattice_get_audit_log or lattice_get_deployment). The description implies usage for deployment lifecycle events, but does not state prerequisites or when not to use it.

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