generate_summary_report

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

No annotations are present, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only mentions the tool generates a report and supports formats/levels, but does not explain side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or what the output contains beyond 'key findings and recommendations'.

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 concise with two sentences; the first defines the purpose, and the second lists supported options. It is front-loaded and efficient, though it could be slightly more detailed without compromising brevity.

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 no output schema and generates a report, the description should explain what the report looks like (e.g., structure, sections). It only mentions 'key findings and recommendations', leaving the output format ambiguous for the 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% with detailed parameter descriptions. The description adds a high-level overview of supported formats and levels, which partially repeats the schema. It adds some context but does not significantly enhance understanding beyond what the schema 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 tool generates an executive summary report with key findings and recommendations, specifying supported formats and detail levels. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'generate_compliance_report', so it loses a point for lack of sibling distinction.

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 such as 'generate_compliance_report' or export tools. The description lacks any context for appropriate usage scenarios.

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