serp_import

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

With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure, but it only states the import action and supported formats. It does not mention side effects (e.g., overwrites, new objects), permissions, or failure modes, which is a significant gap for a mutation-like tool.

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 one concise sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource, with no unnecessary words. Every word earns its place by listing the key file formats.

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 low complexity (one parameter) and presence of an output schema, the description provides a minimal but adequate understanding of the tool's core function. However, it lacks usage guidelines and behavioral details, which would be expected for a tool that imports external files and could have side effects.

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 schema has a single `path` parameter with 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. The description implies that `path` is the file to import and lists supported formats, providing some meaning beyond the schema. However, it lacks details on path syntax, absolute vs. relative paths, or additional constraints.

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 action (import) and the resource (a file into the scene), and lists supported file formats. This distinguishes it from siblings like serp_create_curve (creating geometry) and serp_export (exporting files).

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, nor does it mention any prerequisites or restrictions. It only states the basic function, leaving the agent without clear usage context.

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