v1.0.0-ibintec.1Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, yet it discloses almost nothing beyond the topic. It doesn't say whether it returns static text or live state, whether it requires a running bridge, or that it's a read-only/non-destructive call.
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?
A single short sentence with no wasted words, and the topic is front-loaded. It is efficient, though slightly terse given no other fields carry 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 zero-parameter help tool with no output schema, this is minimally adequate: it names the subject matter but omits what is actually returned and how it differs from get-effects-help. With no annotations and no output schema, the description could carry more of that load.
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 tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline for this dimension is 4. There is no parameter semantics for the description to clarify.
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 indicates this is a help/documentation resource about setting up and using the Ibintec After Effects MCP, but it never states a verb (e.g. 'returns documentation') or explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling get-effects-help. An agent can infer it's a help tool, but the boundary against the other help tool is left unclear.
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 when-to-use guidance is given: the description doesn't say to call this on setup/configuration questions versus get-effects-help for effect-related questions. Usage is only implied by the topic words 'set up and use'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
