batch_file_operations

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

No annotations provided. Description states the tool performs file operations but fails to disclose behavioral traits like destructiveness, reversibility, permissions, or error handling. For a mutation tool handling delete/rename, 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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core action and purpose. Every sentence adds value without redundancy or fluff.

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 an output schema, the description lacks essential context for a batch operation tool: no mention of file selection, error behavior, prerequisites, or scope limitations. Leaves the agent guessing about execution details.

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 schema has 100% description coverage for all properties. The main description adds no additional parameter meaning beyond listing example operations, meeting the baseline of 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?

Description clearly states the tool runs file operations across multiple files as a batch workflow, listing specific operations (copy, move, rename, delete) and target documents (SolidWorks). This distinguishes it from siblings like batch_export or batch_process_files.

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?

Description mentions intended use for repetitive file management tasks and gives examples, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives. Usage is implied rather than clearly bounded.

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