athena_regime_resolve

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

With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It adds 'deterministic' as a useful trait but does not state whether the operation is read-only, how invalid or non-normalized inputs are handled, or whether there are any side effects. This is minimal disclosure for a resolve-style tool.

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, dense sentence with no redundant wording; every phrase contributes to the core purpose. This is appropriately concise for a tool with a focused responsibility.

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 nested parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, yet the description does not explain the returned key format, allowed values, or the role of the 'domain' parameter. This leaves significant gaps for an agent trying to invoke the tool correctly.

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 fails to explain the 'domain' parameter or the expected structure of the 'signals' object. It only hints that signals relate to 'task signals', leaving both parameters under-specified and requiring the agent to infer too much.

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 states a clear verb ('Resolve') and resource ('normalized task signals') and identifies a concrete output ('task-regime key'), which helps distinguish it from generic siblings like athena_resolve. However, the heavy jargon ('HIVE/SWARM/PACK/FLOCK/HERD/POD') may obscure exact semantics for an agent unfamiliar with the domain.

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 about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as athena_regime_geometry_resolve or athena_resolve. The description only states what the tool does, not the conditions or input scenarios that should trigger its use.

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