create_mortise_tenon

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It merely says 'Create', implying a mutation, but does not explain whether components are modified irreversibly, whether material is removed, or if any side effects occur. This is minimal transparency for a creation 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 a single concise sentence with the core action front-loaded and no wasted words. It is appropriately brief, though this brevity sacrifices necessary detail that could have been included, a gap already penalized in other dimensions.

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 an 8-parameter tool with zero parameter documentation and no annotations, this description is far from complete. It does not explain parameter semantics, prerequisites, or behavioral effects. The existence of an output schema helps with return values, but the missing operational context remains a significant gap.

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 the description adds no parameter meaning. It does not clarify what depth, width, height, or offsets represent, in what units, or how mortise_id and tenon_id relate to the operation. The agent must guess parameter semantics from names alone.

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 and resource: 'Create a mortise and tenon joint between two components.' This is a clear verb+resource combination that distinguishes this tool from sibling joint-creating tools like create_dovetail and create_finger_joint.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_dovetail or create_finger_joint, nor any mention of prerequisites like whether the components must already exist or be selected. The description leaves all usage decisions to inference.

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