B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full disclosure burden, yet it says nothing beyond the action. It does not state whether the cursor, selection, or viewport changes, whether an existing selection is cleared, or what happens if no score is loaded.

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?

A single short sentence with the action front-loaded and zero wasted words. There is no filler, no repetition of the title as a sentence, and the size matches the trivial operation.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter navigation command with no output schema or annotations, the description is sufficient to identify the action but incomplete on side effects (cursor/selection state, required context). It is the minimum viable definition rather than a fully informative one.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters, which sets a baseline of 4, but there is nothing parameter-related to clarify and the description adds no semantic detail about the destination (e.g., measure 0 vs. measure 1, or score vs. part behavior). A 3 reflects the absence of any added meaning while acknowledging the schema is trivially complete.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a specific verb ("navigate") and a specific destination ("the beginning of the score"), so the agent knows exactly what action is performed. It does not explicitly contrast itself with siblings such as go_to_measure or go_to_final_measure, but the destination is unambiguous on its own.

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?

There is no statement of when to use this versus go_to_measure (e.g., passing measure 1) or go_to_final_measure, and no prerequisites such as requiring an open score. Any usage context is inferred from the tool name alone rather than from the description.

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