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

No annotations provided. Description mentions error handling and dry-run support, but does not disclose side effects, auth requirements, or error behavior (e.g., rollback). Insufficient for a mutation 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?

Single sentence, no fluff, front-loaded with key information. Structured well but could be broken into a list for clarity.

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?

With 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is far too minimal. Lacks parameter details, return values, and error handling specifics.

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%. Description only adds meaning for 'format' (CSV/JSON), leaving 'projectId', 'data', 'skipErrors', 'dryRun' unexplained. Fails to compensate for missing schema descriptions.

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?

Description clearly states the tool imports tasks in bulk from CSV or JSON formats, with error handling and dry-run support. It differentiates from sibling tools like vikunja_task_bulk by specifying formats and features.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Only implies bulk import, but lacks context like prerequisites or when not to use.

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