SWOTPal — SWOT Analysis

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

Mentions pagination behavior which helps set expectations for result handling. However, given no annotations exist, the description carries full burden and omits critical behavioral details: it doesn't describe the return format, authentication requirements, or explicitly confirm this is read-only (though implied by 'List').

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 with zero waste. Front-loaded with verb ('List'), immediately identifies scope ('your saved SWOT analyses'), and appends key behavioral trait ('with pagination'). Every word earns its place.

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?

Adequate for a simple 2-parameter list tool, but given no output schema exists, the description should indicate what gets returned (e.g., metadata vs full content). Lacks completeness on output structure despite sufficient coverage of input parameters.

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%, establishing a baseline of 3. The description mentions 'pagination' which contextually implies the page/limit parameters exist, but adds no additional semantic detail (syntax constraints, relationship between parameters) beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

Clear verb ('List') and specific resource ('saved SWOT analyses'). Implicitly distinguishes from sibling 'get_analysis' (singular retrieval) via pluralization and verb choice, and from 'generate_swot' (creation) via the word 'saved'. However, lacks explicit contrast with siblings.

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?

Provides no guidance on when to use this versus 'get_analysis' for retrieving specific analyses, nor prerequisites for using pagination. The mention of pagination hints at use cases with many analyses but does not constitute explicit usage guidance.

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