Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesUnique agent name (e.g. 'coordinator', 'researcher')
display_nameNoHuman-readable name (e.g. 'Research Bot')
descriptionNoWhat this agent does
roleNoRole preset: worker (own-task scope), coordinator (sees + can comment on all account tasks), admin (full account management). Mutually exclusive with permissions.
permissionsNoFine-grained permission scopes ('tasks.read_all', 'tasks.comment_all'). Prefer role presets.
Behavior3/5

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

Discloses API key one-time return and saving requirement, but lacks info on idempotency, authentication needs, or conflict behavior. No annotations to supplement.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with action and key warning. No redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Adequate for a creation tool: mentions critical output (API key). Missing error handling info but overall sufficient given no output schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so description adds no value beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states action 'register' and resource 'agent in Delega'. Mentions critical return of API key only at creation, which distinguishes it from list/delete/modify siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Implied usage for creating new agents, but no explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives like 'set_agent_role' or prerequisites.

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