create_recipes_create_ai_stream

Generate a recipe from HTML, JSON, text, images, or a URL with AI. Progress is streamed via SSE for live updates.

Instructions

Create a recipe from any combination of content (HTML, JSON, or text), images, and a URL, using AI, streaming progress via SSE

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden. It discloses that progress is streamed via SSE and that AI is used, but it does not explain side effects (e.g., whether recipes are saved immediately, resource consumption), authentication requirements, or what the SSE stream contains. The AI mention could imply external API dependencies, but this isn't elaborated. Behavioral details are scarce.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is a single, information-dense sentence that lists the key capabilities without redundancy. It avoids fluff but could benefit from a breakdown of parameters or an explicit note on streaming format. Overall, it is concise and front-loaded with the main action.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the tool's complexity (6 parameters, no annotations, no output schema), the description is clearly incomplete. It does not explain the SSE mechanism, how to handle progress, whether there are size limits on input, or what the response structure looks like. An agent would have to rely heavily on guesswork for correct invocation.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The description mentions the three primary inputs (content types, images, URL) which aligns with the 'content', 'images', and 'url' parameters, providing some semantic coverage. However, it completely ignores 'accept-language', 'translateLanguage', and 'createNewOrganizers', which are not self-explanatory. Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description fails to compensate for the majority of parameters.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: creating a recipe from a combination of content types (HTML, JSON, text), images, and a URL, using AI with SSE streaming. It identifies the main inputs and the output (recipe), and implies a difference from simpler creation tools by mentioning the combination and streaming, though it does not explicitly contrast with siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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_stream or create_recipes_create_html_or_json_stream. The description does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or comparative scenarios, leaving the agent to infer applicability from the name and parameter list.

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