Renforge Generate Translations

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

With no annotations, the description carries full behavioral burden. It discloses that it writes to 'game/tl/<language>/', which is useful, but does not state whether it overwrites existing files, merges changes, requires specific permissions, or what happens on failure. For a write operation, this leaves key behaviors unspecified.

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, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately sized for the core purpose, though it could benefit from a bit more detail given the low schema coverage.

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 (a write operation with no annotations, 0% schema coverage, and two required parameters), the description is not complete enough. It omits when to use the tool versus siblings, details about both parameters, and behavioral traits like overwrite behavior. The presence of an output schema means return values need not be explained, but other gaps remain.

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 neither parameter is documented in the schema. The description only implies the 'language' parameter is for the target language ('for a language') and says nothing about 'project_path' or the expected format of the language identifier (e.g., language code). It adds minimal meaning beyond the parameter names.

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 ('Generate/update') and resource ('translation files') with scope ('for a language') and even mentions the output path. It distinguishes itself from siblings that only estimate or show stats, though it does not name those alternatives explicitly.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings like renforge_estimate_translation or renforge_translation_stats. The implied usage is to create or update translation files, but no conditions, prerequisites, or alternatives are stated.

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