whitespace_analyze

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

The only behavioral disclosure is the cost ('Costs $0.001 USDC via x402'). There is no mention of what the tool does, whether it's read-only, or what side effects occur. With no annotations, the description fails to disclose any functional behavior.

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 extremely short, but it's under-specified rather than concise. It wastes one of two sentences on a generic category label, and the remaining sentence only provides pricing info. It doesn't earn its place with functional content.

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?

With no annotations, no output schema, and a generic parameter schema, the description bears the full burden of explaining inputs, outputs, and behavior. It fails to explain anything about the tool's function, making it impossible for an agent to select or correctly invoke this tool.

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 schema contains only a generic 'params' object that is not tool-specific. The description adds no information about what keys or values should be passed. Despite high schema coverage, the coverage is meaningless because it describes a catch-all container.

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 restates the tool name ('whitespace analyze') and labels it generically as 'Other Utilities tool,' without indicating that it analyzes whitespace in text or what it returns. This is a tautology, not a functional explanation.

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?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus siblings like clean_whitespace or normalize_text. It doesn't mention input requirements or intended use cases.

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