ora_init_rules

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose important behavioral traits such as whether it overwrites an existing file, what happens if the .ora directory doesn't exist, or any side effects. For a tool that creates a file, these details are missing.

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 with two sentences, but it is in French. It could be more concise by stating 'Creates the initial .ora/rules.yaml template.' However, it avoids unnecessary detail and is front-loaded with the main action.

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?

The tool is simple (one parameter, no output schema), so a minimal description is somewhat acceptable. However, it lacks information about what the template contains, whether it overwrites an existing file, or the expected outcome. This leaves some gaps for an AI agent.

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?

The only parameter, project_path, is described in the schema as 'Chemin absolu du projet' (absolute path of the project), which is clear. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema. With 100% schema coverage, a baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states it creates a .ora/rules.yaml template file and that its purpose is to allow developers to define conventions. This distinguishes it from siblings like ora_get_rules (reading rules) or ora_apply_template (applying templates). However, it could be more specific about what 'conventions' means.

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?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, such as requiring a project already initialized, or when not to use it. Sibling tools like ora_get_rules or ora_apply_template are not referenced.

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