create_recipes_create_image

Convert an image of a recipe into a formatted recipe, optionally translating it to your preferred language.

Instructions

Create a recipe from an image using OpenAI. Optionally specify a language for it to translate the recipe to.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
imagesYes
accept-languageNo
translateLanguageNo
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must bear the burden. It mentions using OpenAI and optional translation, but lacks details on error handling, rate limits, or the creation process. It is adequate but not thorough.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two concise sentences with no wasted words. The main action is front-loaded, making it easy for an agent to quickly understand the tool's purpose.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given 3 parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description is moderately complete. It covers the core function but omits output format, error handling, and limitations. Could be more informative for a creation tool.

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 only adds meaning for the translateLanguage parameter ('Optionally specify a language') and ignores images and accept-language. With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate more, but it falls short.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states 'Create a recipe from an image using OpenAI', specifying the action (create) and resource (recipe from image), which distinguishes it from siblings that create from URL or HTML/JSON.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage when an image is available but does not explicitly contrast with other creation methods (e.g., URL, HTML). No exclusions or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

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