light_setup_studio

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states it adds studio lighting but does not mention side effects, such as whether existing lights are replaced or if specific prerequisites exist (e.g., a scene must be open). This is minimal transparency.

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 short and front-loaded with the purpose. The 'Args' section is clearly structured. No redundant information exists, though it could be slightly more concise by removing the extra line breaks.

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?

For a setup tool, the description mentions the lights and white world but does not address whether it creates new objects or modifies existing ones, or if it requires a selection. No output schema exists, and behavioral context is limited. Adequate but not complete.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage, but the description's 'Args' section adds meaning: it explains 'target_location' as scene center point and 'temperature' with three options and their color temperatures. This is valuable beyond the schema's defaults and types.

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 clearly states the tool sets up studio lighting with softboxes, specifying '4 area lights + white world'. This is a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling 'setup_studio_lighting', which has a nearly identical name.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'light_setup_three_point' or 'add_light'. No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned. The description only lists parameters without context of use.

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