modifier_preset_smooth_shade

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

With no annotations, the description carries full transparency burden. It discloses the three actions (subdivision, smooth shading, weighted normal) but does not mention side effects, object type restrictions, or whether modifiers are added or applied. 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.

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

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no superfluous words. Highly concise and structured.

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?

Given low complexity and no output schema, the description covers the main function but lacks parameter explanation and usage context. Complete enough for basic understanding but not fully comprehensive.

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?

Schema has 0% description coverage, and the description fails to explain the 'subdiv_levels' parameter or clarify 'object_name' usage. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema field titles.

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 it applies a smooth shading preset combining subdivision surface, smooth shading, and weighted normals. It distinguishes from siblings like 'shade_smooth' (only smooth shading) and 'modifier_add' (individual modifiers).

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?

The description implies use for 'one-click polish for any mesh' but does not specify when not to use this preset versus applying modifiers individually. Lacks explicit exclusions or alternatives among sibling tools.

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