errtrack_setup_sourcemaps

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Set up source map uploading' implies an action with side effects, such as reading project files, uploading artifacts, or requiring authentication, but none of these are disclosed. The agent is left guessing what actually happens when the tool is invoked.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. It conveys the essential purpose quickly, which is good for concise tool selection. However, it is arguably too terse to carry the behavioral and parameter information needed, so it doesn't earn a perfect score.

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 setup tool with no annotations and no output schema, this description is incomplete. It does not explain prerequisites, whether the setup modifies configuration files, how api_key is used, or what success looks like. Given the presence of related sibling tools, more context is needed for an agent to confidently select and invoke this tool.

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 only 50%: the 'directory' parameter has a description, but 'api_key' does not. The tool description does not compensate by explaining how the parameters relate to the setup process, such as what the api_key is for or what directory structure is expected. The meaning of api_key remains ambiguous.

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 ('set up') on a specific resource ('source map uploading') within a defined domain ('error tracking'). This makes the tool's core function clear and distinguishes it from related siblings like errtrack_setup_sentry or error_setup_reporting, at least by the 'source maps' focus. It is slightly generic in that it doesn't specify the target service or the concrete outcome, but the intent is unambiguous.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools like errtrack_setup_sentry or error_setup_reporting exist, and an agent cannot tell from this description whether source map setup should precede, follow, or replace those setups. No conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions are stated.

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