Bulk Create

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility. It explains the input format but does not disclose whether the operation is asynchronous, what side effects occur, or what the return value is. The email parameter hints at completion notifications, but this is not mentioned in the description—a notable transparency gap for a bulk operation.

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 with no filler. It efficiently conveys the core purpose and the most critical input detail (CSV column structure).

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 bulk operation with no output schema and no annotations, the description lacks essential context about process and results: it does not mention async behavior, completion notification (despite the email parameter), error handling, or what occurs after generation. It covers only input requirements and the high-level 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?

The description adds valuable meaning beyond the schema by specifying CSV columns: url (required), asset_id, lang, keywords, tags, metadata (optional). This clarifies what csv_file must contain. The email parameter is already described in the schema as 'Email for completion notification', so the description does not need to add more.

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 states a specific action—'Bulk generate alt text for multiple images from a CSV file'—with a clear verb, resource, and method. It distinguishes from single-image tools like generate_alt_text, though generate_alt_text_from_file may overlap, but the CSV/bulk nature is explicit.

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 when multiple images are listed in a CSV and provides column requirements, but it does not explicitly contrast with siblings like generate_alt_text_from_file or state when not to use this tool. There is no when/when-not guidance.

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