C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations, so the description carries the full burden for a mutation tool. It never states whether dropping is reversible, what happens if the tile is occupied or the drop fails, or what permissions/preconditions apply. Only the amount=0 shortcut is disclosed.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two short sentences, zero padding, with the core action stated first and the amount convention immediately after. Nothing wasted.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and an undocumented required parameter, the description is too thin. It omits failure behavior, slot-index meaning, and any indication of irreversible state change.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so any param meaning must come from the description. It usefully explains the amount default=0 as 'drop entire stack', but the required 'index' parameter is left completely undefined for an agent that must know it refers to an inventory slot.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb (drop) and resource (item) plus the location (on the ground), which distinguishes it from pickup, use, and equip. However, it does not name a sibling it is not, so routing relies on the agent knowing the inventory vocabulary.

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?

No explicit when-to-use, when-not, or alternative tooling is given. The closest thing to guidance is the amount=0 convention, which is a parameter rule rather than usage context.

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