Decode Dream Text

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, which the description aligns with. The description adds context about symbol matching and cost but does not reveal additional behavioral traits beyond annotations.

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 highly concise: two sentences plus group/cost and an example. Every element adds value, and the core action is front-loaded with no unnecessary verbiage.

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?

While the description covers input and output at a high level, it lacks details on error handling, empty results, or exact response structure. An output schema is absent, so more explicit output description would help. Adequate but not fully comprehensive.

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 input schema only defines 'body' as a raw JSON object with no inner properties, so the description's example ('text' and 'recurring') provides crucial semantics missing from the schema, significantly aiding parameter understanding.

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 it scans dream narrative text for known symbols and returns matched symbols with meanings, distinguishing it from siblings like 'esoteric_angel_numbers_decode' which handles angel numbers.

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 implies the tool is for decoding dream symbols but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives like other esoteric tools, leaving comparative guidance unaddressed.

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