verify.assert_no_crash_in_logcat

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden, but it only states the assertion intent. It does not disclose what happens when a crash signature is found, whether it reads live logcat automatically, or any side effects, making behavior largely opaque.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is concise, though it may be too sparse to compensate for the absence of parameter documentation.

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 three undocumented parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is not complete enough for an agent to reliably call the tool. Key questions about parameter roles, required inputs, and failure behavior remain unanswered.

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 coverage is 0% and the description only loosely hints at 'logcat' versus 'saved log file', which likely maps to serial and logPath. The packageName parameter is entirely unexplained, and no parameter format, defaults, or required combinations are provided.

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 states a specific verb ('assert') and resource ('logcat or a saved log file') with the outcome of having no crash signatures. It is clearly distinct from sibling verify.assert_* tools, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from them.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, and does not mention conditions such as needing a device serial, a saved log path, or a package filter. Usage context is only implied by the tool name and category.

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