insert_list_at_paragraph

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It only states 'insert', implying a non-destructive addition, but does not mention effects on existing content, authorization needs, rate limits, or what happens if paragraph_index is out of range.

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 short sentence, but it sacrifices informativeness for brevity. It is not front-loaded with critical details like parameter explanations or usage context, making it under-specifying rather than concise.

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 tool has 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is critically incomplete. It fails to explain the tool's behavior, parameter semantics, return value, error conditions, or prerequisites.

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%, so the description must add meaning to parameters. It does not explain what 'items' should contain (e.g., strings, objects), what 'paragraph_index' means (0-based or 1-based), or valid values for 'kind' beyond the default 'bullet'.

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 'insert', the resource 'list', and the location 'at the specified paragraph'. However, it does not distinguish among sibling tools like insert_list_end, insert_list_start, or insert_numbered_list_near_text, limiting its purpose clarity.

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 exclusions, when not to use, or which sibling tools are more appropriate for other scenarios.

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