audio_dataset_download_plan

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

With no annotations provided, the description must carry the behavioral disclosure. It discloses the key trait that no download occurs until the execute tool confirms, which is important. However, it does not mention other behaviors such as persistence, side effects, or output format, leaving significant gaps.

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 sentence with no wasted words, but it is not front-loaded with the most critical information (the parameter semantics are missing, and the no-download behavior is secondary). It is concise but inadequately structured for quick parsing of key facts.

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?

The tool has 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, but the description does not explain what a 'hash-bound plan' is, what 'pinned' means, how licensing affects usage, or what the plan contains. It is insufficient for an agent to understand the full context needed for correct invocation.

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 0%, and the description makes no mention of any parameters (datasetId, maximumBytes, licenseAccepted, home). It fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation, leaving the agent without meaning for the required fields or their constraints.

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 ('Create a hash-bound plan') and the resource ('one pinned licensed dataset artifact'). It distinguishes from the sibling audio_dataset_download_execute by explicitly noting that no download occurs until the execute tool is confirmed, making the planning role clear.

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 implies usage as a planning step before execution but does not explicitly say when to use this tool versus alternatives like audio_dataset_catalog or audio_dataset_download_execute. It lacks guidance on prerequisites or conditions that select this tool over siblings.

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