json_validate_schema

Validate JSON schemas in your project directory to identify invalid definitions and ensure data consistency. Avoid runtime errors by catching problems early.

Behavior1/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral disclosure burden, but it only says 'Generate JSON schema validation.' It does not state what happens to the provided directory, whether an API call is made, whether files are written, whether existing content is overwritten, or what role api_key plays. This is effectively no behavioral transparency.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is only six words, but that brevity reflects under-specification rather than disciplined, high-value content. It essentially restates the tool's implied purpose and provides no additional information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and a sparse description, an agent cannot know what inputs are required in practice, what output to expect, what side effects occur, or how to distinguish this tool from many similar JSON and validation tools. The description is materially incomplete for safe selection and invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 50%, with only 'directory' documented as 'Project directory.' The description adds no meaning for either parameter, and api_key remains completely unexplained. The description does not compensate for the schema's gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a verb and a resource ('Generate JSON schema validation'), but it is vague about what the tool actually produces: does it validate an existing schema, generate validation rules/code, or produce a report? It also does not distinguish itself from siblings such as json_create_mapping or jtt_generate_validators.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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. There are no conditions, prerequisites, exclusions, or sibling references provided.

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