Display Analyze

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of disclosing side effects, read-only status, or state changes. It only restates the operation and does not say whether the tool reads a previous capture, produces artifacts, modifies state, or how it handles invalid DCS data.

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 compact sentence with no padding, and the core verb and resource appear early. The unexplained 'Sugar:' prefix is a minor structural blemish, but the overall text is appropriately sparse.

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?

This is a complex tool with seven optional parameters, no annotations, no schema descriptions, and several close siblings. The description is far too incomplete: it does not clarify what inputs are needed, what output is produced, or how display_analyze differs from display_reconstruct and interpret.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage across seven parameters, the description needed to explain width, height, offsets, max_commands, and decode_job_id. It only gestures at 'display profile' and 'command_log sink', leaving the meaning and relationship of the numerical parameters mostly unexplained.

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 names a specific verb (interpret), a resource (MIPI DCS + command_log sink), and a target (display profile), so it is not a tautology. However, it does not distinguish itself from sibling tools like 'interpret' or 'display_reconstruct', both of which could plausibly handle display data.

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 about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as interpret, display_reconstruct, or bus_decode. The 'Sugar:' prefix may imply a convenience wrapper, but the description never states the conditions that should lead an agent to pick this tool over its siblings.

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