generate_qr_decoration

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses the Business requirement, the inline 3D stage side effect, the hosted browser link fallback, and automatic decimation, but it omits important details like whether it writes files, modifies the design, or has quotas/rate limits.

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 core purpose is front-loaded, but the description is bloated by repeated inline-stage explanations, business-gating repetition, and an upgrade URL. The 'INLINE 3D STAGE' paragraph substantially duplicates earlier stage details.

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 generation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and low schema description coverage, the description is incomplete. It explains the stage and Business gating but leaves parameter meaning, output behavior, permissions, and error/limits handling unaddressed.

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 only 25%, so the description must compensate for undocumented parameters. It only hints at 'scannable at print size' and never explains content, output_dir, nozzle_mm, or how target_size_mm affects the generated QR heightmap.

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 first sentence states a specific verb and resource: 'Generate a QR code heightmap for embossing onto 3D models.' This is clear enough to distinguish the core action, though the description does not differentiate it from sibling tools such as add_qr_to_product.

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?

It implies use for QR code embossing on 3D models and states the Kiln Business prerequisite, but it never explains when to choose this over add_qr_to_product, batch_decorate, or generate_decorated_product.

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