mealie_recipe_suggestions

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

With no annotations provided, the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Return', implying a read operation, but does not describe what the response contains, whether the tool makes external API calls, how suggestions are computed, or any side effects or limitations.

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 sentence and is front-loaded with the core action. However, it is under-specified: it offers no additional context or structure, making it less helpful than it could be. It is concise but falls short of being well-rounded.

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?

Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and low schema description coverage, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what 'recipe suggestions' are, what the response shape is, or how 'limit' affects the result, leaving an agent with insufficient context to invoke the tool confidently.

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 0%, and the description does not mention the 'limit' parameter at all. The schema provides a type and default, but the description should clarify that limit controls the number of suggestions returned and how it affects the output. It does not.

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 the tool returns Mealie recipe suggestions, which identifies the action and resource at a high level. However, it does not explain what 'suggestions' means (e.g., random, personalized, or based on meal plans) and offers no differentiation from sibling tools like mealie_search_recipes or mealie_get_recipe.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of use cases, prerequisites, or situations where another sibling tool like mealie_get_todays_meals or mealie_search_recipes would be more appropriate.

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