batch_operations

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only mentions 'single round-trip' and does not disclose execution order, atomicity, partial failure behavior, or side effects for the various operation types, which is critical for a batch mutation 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 concise and front-loaded with the core purpose. Both sentences are necessary and add distinct information without 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 batch tool that can create, delete, reparent, clone, and set properties, the description omits important behavioral details such as return values, operation ordering, atomicity guarantees, and per-operation data requirements. This leaves significant gaps despite the clear basic purpose.

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%, and the description largely restates the schema's type/data structure. It does not add meaningful detail beyond what the schema already provides, meeting the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 executes multiple operations in a single round-trip, listing supported operation types (setProperty, createObject, deleteObject, reparent, clone). This specific verb+resource+scope distinguishes it from individual-operation sibling tools.

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 usage context is implied: use this for multiple operations to save round-trips. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over individual tools or when not to use it, such as when atomicity or partial failure handling is required.

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