owasp_generate_report

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full transparency burden. It does not disclose whether the tool scans the directory, writes files, requires an API key, or returns report content. The '(Pro feature)' note hints at gating but does not explain behavior or side effects.

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 short and front-loaded, with no filler or redundant restatement. However, it is compact to the point of omitting important context, so it earns points for efficiency but not for completeness.

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 tool with no output schema, no annotations, and a minimally described api_key parameter, this one-sentence description is insufficient. An agent cannot tell where the report is written, whether scanning occurs, or what the report contains beyond scoring.

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%, and the description adds no parameter-level meaning. The api_key parameter is undocumented in the schema and the description fails to clarify how or why it is used, despite the 'Pro feature' hint making this especially relevant.

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 verb ('Generate'), a concrete resource ('full OWASP compliance report'), and a key differentiator ('with scoring'). It is distinguishable from sibling tools like owasp_scan_top10 and owasp_fix_vulnerabilities because it produces a report deliverable rather than scanning or fixing.

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 explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and it never references sibling tools or prerequisites such as running a scan first. The intended use is only implied by the presence of sibling tool names.

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