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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the action saves/replaces the wallet on the device and that the hosted service does not store it. However, it does not describe potential side effects (e.g., overwriting existing data), required permissions, or whether the action is reversible. The behavioral disclosure is adequate but not exhaustive.

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 four sentences, each serving a purpose: main action, usage timing, specific inclusion, and data locality. It is front-loaded with the primary function and avoids unnecessary words. It is concise and structured well.

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 the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no annotations) and the existence of an output schema, the description covers the main workflow: save/replace wallet, immediate usage context, and data storage note. It does not mention the output or confirmation, but the output schema presumably handles that. The description is mostly complete but could be slightly more specific about the expected outcome.

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 adds that card names should be included, specifically mentioning 'Include Amaze when mentioned,' but does not explain what each array item should be (e.g., exact card names, formatting). The parameter 'cards' is only implied to be a list of card names. This is minimal added value.

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 the tool's purpose: 'Save or replace the user's KiasuMiles wallet on this device.' This is a specific verb-resource combination. It distinguishes from sibling tools like kiasumiles_get_wallet (read) and kiasumiles_list_cards (list). The additional context about not storing on the hosted service clarifies the scope.

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 explicitly tells when to use the tool: 'Use this after matching the card names the user carries.' It also provides specific instructions: 'Include Amaze when mentioned. Confirm the saved card names in plain English.' This gives clear context for usage, though it does not explicitly state when not to use it or list alternatives.

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