clitest_generate_suite

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. 'Generate CLI integration tests' only conveys a create/write action; it does not explain whether files are scaffolded, whether existing files are overwritten, what api_key is used for, or what output is produced.

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 brief and front-loaded with no filler, but it is closer to a label than a usable definition. Its brevity comes at the cost of necessary detail, so it is only minimally acceptable on structure.

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?

For a generator with two parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete: it omits what the suite generates, where it writes, required setup, and how it differs from adjacent CLI test tools. An agent cannot reliably call it correctly from this description alone.

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 only 50% (directory has a description, api_key does not). The description adds no parameter-level meaning and does not clarify what 'directory' should point to or what api_key is for.

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 a specific action ('Generate') and a specific deliverable ('CLI integration tests'), so an agent can tell this is for producing a test suite. However, it does not distinguish this from siblings like clitest_add_snapshots, clitest_add_mocks, or api_generate_tests.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Given the large set of sibling generation/testing tools, the agent must infer from the name that this is for CLI integration tests, with no explicit context or exclusions.

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