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

No annotations exist, so description must disclose side effects, state changes, output, or prerequisites. It only names the pipeline and output ('Fused z'), offering no behavioral detail. No contradictions with annotations since none were provided.

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 a single, compact phrase with no filler or redundant words. It is front-loaded and readable, though arguably too terse to convey much substance.

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?

With no annotations and no output schema, the description should explain what 'fused z' is, whether the pipeline mutates state, and how this differs from sensor_fuse. The current one-liner leaves too much implicit for an AI agent to invoke it confidently.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the description need not repeat parameter details. It adds no semantic value beyond the schema, but the baseline of 3 applies because all three properties (compounds, visualSource, audioFrequency) are already documented.

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?

Description identifies tool as a full multimodal pipeline that processes all modalities and produces a fused 'z', which distinguishes it from individual sensor tools. However, it lacks an explicit action verb, relying on the noun 'Pipeline' to imply 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?

No guidance is given for when to use this tool versus sensor_visual, sensor_audio, sensor_olfactory, or sensor_fuse. The phrase 'All Modalities' implies broad use, but there are no explicit conditions or alternatives.

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