generate_world_map

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, and it only reveals that generation is seeded and that a preview is optional. It does not mention file output behavior, overwrite risk, side effects on disk, or what a manifest contains. The behavioral context is too thin for a non-annotated tool.

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?

One sentence with no filler; the core action is front-loaded and the key qualifiers (seeded, multi-biome, optional preview) are compactly included. Every word earns its place.

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 an 8-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the single sentence is not contextually complete. It omits the meaning of required map dimensions, detail levels, landmark counts, file-naming behavior, and the structure of the returned manifest/preview. The description covers only the general idea, not enough to invoke the tool confidently.

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, but only seed, biomes, and preview are hinted at through 'seeded', 'multi-biome', and 'optional preview'. Width, height, detail_level, landmark_count, map_filename, and preview_filename semantics are left entirely to the schema names. This is partial compensation at best.

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 action and product: generating a seeded, multi-biome map manifest with an optional preview. This is more specific than the tool name and distinguishes it from sibling tools like generate_biome_transition or build_terrain_tileset, which produce different artifacts. The scope is immediately clear.

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 provides no explicit when-to-use guidance, exclusions, or alternatives. An agent must infer from the name that this is for world-map generation, but it never says when it should be preferred over related generation tools. No conditions or use cases are given.

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