create_households_mealplans_random

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

Without annotations, the description adds context by explaining the random selection behavior and reliance on settings. However, it does not disclose side effects, permissions, or the exact nature of what is created beyond returning a random meal.

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 concise with three sentences, front-loading the core purpose. It could be more structured by explicitly linking parameters to behavior.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description omits how date and entryType affect the result and what exactly is returned. It references other routes but does not provide sufficient standalone completeness.

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?

The description provides no explanation of the parameters (date, entryType, accept-language) despite 0% schema coverage. It fails to compensate, leaving the agent to infer their roles from context.

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 it provides randomized functionality for mealplaners, making the verb+resource clear. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling 'create_households_mealplans', relying on the name for distinction.

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?

The description implies usage when random meal generation is desired and mentions following household settings, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this vs. alternatives or when not to use it.

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