preset.instantiate

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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does disclose the core effect (bulk creation of N independently-identified profiles), but says nothing about permissions, whether the operation is idempotent or reversible, resource limits, or the fate of existing profiles.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the colon structure puts the mechanism before the payload details. It is only slightly cryptic in the 'N profiles' shorthand.

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?

This is a non-trivial bulk-provisioning operation with no output schema, no annotations, no parameters, and no explanation of the template source or the resulting fleet's shape. An agent cannot tell what it gets back or what to do next after calling it.

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 input schema exposes zero parameters, which normally sets a baseline of 4. However, the description explicitly references inputs ('N', 'a template') that the schema does not expose, creating a real mismatch that could send an agent hunting for arguments that do not exist.

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?

States a specific verb (make/instantiate), resource (fleet), and mechanism (from a template), which lets an agent distinguish it from sibling preset.list and from the singular leasing tools. It stops short of naming the preset/template concept used in the tool name, and the 'N profiles' phrasing hints at inputs the schema does not contain.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisite (e.g. that a preset must first exist), and no comparison to alternatives such as lease_fleet, lease_profile, or profile.batch, all of which plausibly compete for the same intent. The agent must infer the routing decision entirely on its own.

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