v1.2.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It only mentions execution order (sequence or parallel) but fails to disclose other behavioral traits such as error handling, file modifications, or prerequisites. The description is too minimal.
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 two sentences long, front-loaded with the tool's core function. The first sentence is somewhat redundant but not harmful. Overall, it is concise and avoids unnecessary elaboration.
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 complexity (nested input, output schema exists) and no annotations, the description is adequate but minimal. It explains the batch execution concept but does not detail the workflow context or error behavior. The output schema may cover return values, so completeness is sufficient.
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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add any meaning beyond the schema for the parameters like macro_list, stop_on_error, or execution_order. It merely states the overall capability.
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 the tool's purpose: 'running multiple macros in sequence or parallel for complex automated workflows.' It uses specific verbs ('run') and a resource ('multiple macros'), and it distinguishes itself from the sibling 'execute_macro' by specifying batch execution.
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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'execute_macro' or other macro tools. It only implies use for 'complex automated workflows' without any exclusions or conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
