generate_jenkins_pipeline

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry behavioral details, but it only states that a Jenkinsfile is generated. It does not disclose whether the tool returns file content, writes a file to disk, requires an active recorded session, or has side effects.

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 sentence that front-loads the action and output artifact. There is no filler, and every part contributes useful scope information.

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 two-parameter tool with no required parameters, the description gives enough orientation to choose and call it. However, it omits output/return behavior and has no annotation coverage, so an agent still lacks full context about what happens after invocation.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does add meaning by mapping the language values to real build systems (Maven, Gradle, pytest), but it says nothing about java_version or the defaults, leaving that semantic burden entirely to the schema.

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 names a specific verb ('Generate'), a specific resource ('a declarative Jenkinsfile'), and a clear scope ('running the recorded test session'). It also distinguishes this from CI-generator siblings like generate_github_actions and generate_gitlab_ci by naming Jenkinsfile explicitly.

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 Jenkins-specific usage through 'Jenkinsfile' and limits scope to Maven, Gradle, or pytest sessions. However, it does not explicitly mention when to choose this tool over sibling CI generators, nor does it provide exclusion conditions.

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