pubkey_to_p2sh_p2wpkh_redeemscript

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as whether the tool is read-only, has side effects, or requires specific permissions. The description only states the function without any additional behavioral context.

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, clear sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately front-loaded and concise for a simple tool. However, it could be slightly more informative while remaining concise.

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 simplicity of the tool (one parameter, straightforward output) and the existence of an output schema, the description is adequate for basic usage. However, it lacks usage guidelines and behavioral transparency, which are important for completeness. The presence of numerous sibling tools further underscores the need for more context.

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 single parameter 'pubkey' is described as 'Public key as a hex string.' The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting, and no further semantic enrichment is needed.

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 and the resource: 'Get the P2SH-P2WPKH redeemScript for a public key.' It uses a specific verb and resource, and the output (redeemScript) is distinct from sibling tools like pubkey_to_address or create_p2wpkh_script. However, it does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings that might also produce similar scripts.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention prerequisites, when to choose this over other script-related tools, or any exclusion criteria. This leaves the agent with no context for decision-making.

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