analyze_twb

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention whether the analysis is read-only, destructive, or requires authentication. The term 'analyze' suggests a read operation, but this is not explicit.

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 short sentence that gets to the point. However, it could be more concise by removing jargon like 'cwtwb's declared capabilities' which may require external context.

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 has only one parameter, a simple purpose, and an output schema (not shown), the description is minimally complete. However, it lacks details about the analysis result or when to use this tool vs siblings like 'profile_twb_for_migration', making it less complete for an agent.

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 for the single parameter 'file_path'. It does not elaborate on the format, valid values, or constraints of file_path. However, with only one parameter and its name being self-explanatory, the baseline is 3.

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 'Analyze a TWB file against cwtwb's declared capabilities' uses a specific verb ('Analyze') and resource ('TWB file'), but the phrase 'cwtwb's declared capabilities' is unclear without context. The tool's purpose is distinguishable from siblings like 'profile_twb_for_migration' or 'validate_workbook', but the description lacks specificity about what 'analyze' entails compared to other analysis tools.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Given the large number of sibling tools, such as 'profile_twb_for_migration' or 'validate_workbook', the description should clarify scenarios where analysis against 'declared capabilities' is appropriate, but it does not.

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