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

With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavior. It states 'simple concatenation' and 'latest version of each component', suggesting a non-destructive read operation, but lacks details on error handling, permissions, or impact on source files. The behavioral disclosure is minimal.

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 very concise at two sentences, with the primary purpose front-loaded. It efficiently conveys the core action, but could afford slightly more detail on parameters without losing brevity.

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 the presence of an output schema, return values are covered, but the description lacks parameter explanations and usage conditions. For a simple two-parameter tool, the description is still incomplete, missing guidance on parameter dependencies or error scenarios.

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 coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate by explaining parameter meaning. It does not describe 'project_name' beyond implication from the purpose, and does not explain 'output_filename' at all. The default value is in the schema, but the description adds no semantic value.

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 verb (combine) and resource (HTML drafts in a project), and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by focusing on compilation rather than listing or design. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from any similar compilation tools among siblings, and the scope 'all HTML drafts' could be more precise.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, such as the existence of drafts, nor when not to use it. Sibling tools like list_drafts imply prior steps, but no explicit usage context is given.

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