photext_translate_image

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. It hints that something link-like is returned but does not state whether the call mutates state, whether it is read-only, whether authentication is needed, or what the returned link represents or how long it is valid.

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, appropriately front-loaded with no filler. Its brevity is a virtue here, though the terse phrasing is partly what creates the ambiguity.

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 tool with no annotations, no output schema, and 0% parameter documentation, the description should explain what is produced (a link to what? opened where?) and how the image is supplied. Almost all of that is missing.

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% and the single parameter (target_language) is never mentioned or explained in the description. The description does not compensate with accepted language formats, defaults, or which source/image input is used, so the agent gets no meaning beyond the bare property name.

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 name and description point at translating text inside an image, which is distinct enough from siblings like photext_edit_text_in_image or photext_remove_text. However, the phrasing 'Get the PhoText link' is ambiguous: it is unclear whether the tool performs translation or merely returns a link/URL to a translation service, leaving the actual action vague.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus photext_edit_text_in_image or photext_remove_text, nor any prerequisites (e.g., image must already be uploaded, link must be opened elsewhere). Usage must be entirely inferred from the name.

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