Behavior1/5

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

There are no annotations and the description does not disclose side effects (e.g., modifying a recipe, network requests), permissions required, or error behaviors. The phrase 'Scrape Image Url' hints at an action but is not transparent about consequences.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is extremely brief, which is concise, but it sacrifices all meaningful information. It is not front-loaded with crucial details; it is just a fragment that does not form a clear sentence. Conciseness should not come at the expense of clarity.

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

Completeness1/5

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

Given the tool's complexity (multiple parameters, likely network and file operations), the description is grossly incomplete. It fails to mention the expected outcome, return value, or any dependencies. An agent cannot understand the tool's full behavior from this description.

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

Parameters1/5

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

The schema lists parameters (slug, url, includeTags, accept-language, includeCategories) but provides no descriptions. The tool description does not clarify their roles; for instance, what do includeTags and includeCategories control? This leaves the parameters semantically opaque.

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

Purpose1/5

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

The description 'Scrape Image Url' is vague and does not clearly state that this tool creates an image for a specific recipe identified by slug. It could be misinterpreted as simply scraping a URL. The tool name suggests a recipe image creation, but the description fails to convey that.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_recipes_create_url or create_recipes_test_scrape_url. Without context, an agent cannot determine the appropriate scenario for this operation.

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