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

With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It states the tool 'writes' and does so 'locally,' which implies a file-writing side effect. However, it does not mention whether files are overwritten, what permissions are needed, or any other consequences of the write operation. This is minimal disclosure.

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, front-loaded sentence without redundant words. However, it is under-specified for the complexity of the tool, so the conciseness is achieved at the expense of necessary 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?

Given the tool has 3 required parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It explains the general output type but does not clarify how the parameters influence the output, what the tailoring brief should contain, or what 'locally' means in terms of file paths or return values.

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 description provides no explanation of the three parameters (application_id, profile_json_path, tailoring_brief). The phrase 'tailoring brief' appears but is not tied to the parameter. The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation.

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 a specific action ('Write') and specific outputs ('editable LaTeX CV/cover-letter starters and a factual tailoring brief') with a location scope ('locally'). This distinguishes it from siblings like compile_application_tex, which focuses on compilation rather than drafting.

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. It does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or contrast with related tools like analyse_application_fit or compile_application_tex. The usage context is only implied by the description's verb and output.

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