upscale_image

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

With no annotations provided, the description fully discloses behavioral traits: it names the model (Real-ESRGAN), states it recovers real detail (not interpolation), mentions optional face enhancement, describes stable endpoint with automatic upgrades, and lists pricing (5 sats per image, pay-per-request with Lightning, no API key). No contradictions.

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 concise (~70 words) and front-loaded with the primary action. Every sentence adds value: purpose, technical details, payment requirement, and behavioral notes. No redundancy.

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?

For a tool with 4 parameters and no output schema, the description covers behavior, prerequisites, pricing, and model information. It does not describe the return format (e.g., base64 image), but given the context, it is reasonably complete.

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 the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds marginal value by noting the default scale (4x) and that imageBase64 can be a data URI. For a high-coverage schema, baseline 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 the tool upscales images 2x or 4x using neural super-resolution. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'edit_image', 'generate_image', and 'restore_face' by focusing on resolution enhancement via machine learning.

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 explicitly requires a prior payment via 'create_payment' with toolName='upscale_image', which is a clear usage prerequisite. However, it does not specify when to use this tool over alternatives like 'edit_image' or 'restore_face', leaving some ambiguity.

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