Read important files memory

read_important_files_memory
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve key project file references by reading the memory file, giving AI assistants essential context about a local repository.

Instructions

Read docs/memory/arquivos-importantes.md with key project files.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds the specific file path and content, which is useful context, but it does not disclose return format, size limits, or behavior when the file is missing.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word contributes to identifying the resource and purpose, making it appropriately concise.

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 no output schema and several sibling memory tools, the description is under-specified. It does not explain what the tool returns (file contents), nor does it help the agent choose this over related read_memory tools. Annotations cover safety, but the minimal description leaves important usage context missing.

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?

Schema coverage is only 50% because maxBytes lacks a description. The tool description adds some context for projectPath (the file is read relative to it) but says nothing about maxBytes or its semantics, so it does not compensate for the gap.

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 the tool reads a specific file (docs/memory/arquivos-importantes.md) and mentions its content (key project files). It uses a specific verb and resource, and it is easily distinguished from sibling tools by the unique file path.

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?

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus the many sibling memory-reading tools. It does not mention alternatives or exclusion criteria, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the file name.

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