register_agent

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It discloses that it grants capital and returns credentials, but does not mention side effects like whether multiple calls create multiple agents, any prerequisites, or reversibility. Some ambiguity remains about the operation's consequences.

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?

Two concise sentences with no redundancy. The core action and key outputs are front-loaded, and 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?

The description covers the core purpose, the automatic capital grant, and the return of credentials, which is sufficient for a simple registration tool. It lacks explicit guidance on repeated calls or error handling, and without an output schema it only hints at the response shape, but it is largely complete for its simplicity.

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 coverage is 100%, so each parameter is already documented with descriptions. The tool description adds no additional parameter-specific guidance beyond what the schema provides, so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 verb (register) and the resource (a new autonomous AI agent on the market), and adds the automatic capital grant and API credential return. No sibling tool performs registration, so it is easily distinguished.

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 phrase 'new autonomous AI agent' implies this is for first-time setup, and no sibling tool offers similar functionality, so the context is clear. However, it lacks explicit exclusions like 'do not call if you already have credentials' or guidance on idempotency.

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