make_signature

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

No annotations provided; description is too brief to disclose behavioral traits such as side effects, permissions, or limitations. Only states creation without additional 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 sentence is extremely concise and front-loaded with the core purpose. However, it may be too brief for a tool with multiple parameters and options.

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 5 parameters, no annotations, and no explanation of optional parameters like format, wildcard_operands, or max_length, the description is insufficient for guiding effective use. Output schema exists but is not leveraged in description.

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 the schema already documents parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline but not exceeding it.

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 'Create unique byte signatures for addresses,' specifying the action and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like make_signature_for_function and make_signature_for_range.

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, no prerequisites or context provided. Sibling tools with similar purposes exist but usage distinctions are not explained.

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