generate_decrypt_script

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It mentions auto-saving to the output directory, but omits details about error handling, overwrite behavior, or dependencies such as requiring prior analysis (e.g., key extraction). The description is insufficient for an agent to predict side effects or constraints.

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 concise sentence that front-loads the core action and output format. It is appropriately sized but could be more structured, perhaps separating the action from the automatic save behavior. It earns its place but leaves room for additional clarity.

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 complexity (10 parameters, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It does not explain what the generated script does (e.g., decrypts using specified algorithm), how to verify correctness, or what the output file contains. The agent lacks sufficient context to understand the tool's full purpose and outcomes.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema; it does not explain parameter relationships (e.g., when iv is needed for CBC mode) or provide usage examples. The description adds marginal value over the schema alone.

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: generating a complete decryption script (Python or JavaScript) based on analysis results, and automatically saving it. It uses a specific verb ('generate') and resource ('decrypt script'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'generate_encrypt_script' and 'generate_brute_script'.

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 implies usage 'based on analysis results' but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like generate_encrypt_script or brute force. It lacks guidance on prerequisites or context, leaving the agent to infer appropriate usage.

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