add_camera_layer

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

With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits like whether adding a camera layer is destructive, requires specific permissions, or has side effects. The description says nothing about these aspects, leaving the agent uninformed about the tool's impact.

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 extremely concise at only four words, which is efficient but under-specified. It front-loads the basic function but lacks essential details, making it incomplete rather than appropriately 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 tool has 5 parameters (0 required, 0% description coverage) and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It fails to explain return values, parameter usage, or context for camera layer addition, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent.

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%, so the description should compensate by explaining parameter meaning and relationships. The description provides no parameter information; for example, it does not clarify how 'type' enum values differ or how 'zoom' affects the layer, leaving the agent to infer from names alone.

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 'Add a camera layer' provides a generic verb and resource but lacks specificity. It does not distinguish this tool from other layer-adding tools like add_solid_layer, add_text_layer, etc., leaving ambiguity about what a camera layer is and how it differs.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when a camera layer is appropriate compared to a light or text layer. No context, prerequisites, or exclusions are mentioned.

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