embed_quiz_in_lesson

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the tool is idempotent, what happens if the quiz is already embedded, or any side effects on the lesson content. The agent is left to infer behavior.

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 short and to the point, with the main action front-loaded. The parameter section is clearly separated. While concise, it could be slightly more structured by grouping related info.

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?

The description explains the core action but lacks details on error conditions, the effect on existing content, or the return value (though an output schema may exist). It is minimally complete for a simple embedding operation but leaves gaps for an 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?

The description provides brief parameter explanations ('lesson: The lesson name', 'quiz: The quiz name (slug)'), clarifying that 'quiz' expects a slug. However, no details on valid formats or how to obtain these values, meaning the description adds some value over the schema but not enough to fully compensate for the 0% schema coverage.

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 action ('Embed a quiz'), the target resource ('into a lesson's content'), and the format ('as an EditorJS quiz block'). This distinguishes it from other quiz-related tools like create_quiz or get_quiz.

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, prerequisites (e.g., lesson and quiz must exist), or when not to use it. The description simply states the action without context.

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