password_generate_memorable

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

The description discloses that the password is returned in plaintext and requires a reason and acknowledgment, which are important safety traits. However, it does not mention whether the password is stored or logged, or any post-generation behavior. With no annotations provided, the description bears full responsibility but only partially fulfills it.

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 extremely concise (22 words) and front-loads the core purpose in the first clause. The second clause efficiently lists requirements. Every sentence adds value, and there is no redundancy.

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 6 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It omits details about optional parameters, return format, and side effects. The tool's moderate complexity demands more contextual information for correct invocation.

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?

The description only references the required parameters 'reason' and 'acknowledgePlaintext' indirectly. The optional parameters (words, separator, capitalize, includeNumber) are not explained, despite the input schema providing no descriptions. This leaves the agent with incomplete understanding of how to configure the output.

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 generates a 'memorable passphrase-like password' and returns it in plaintext, distinguishing it from a generic password generator. The verb 'generate' and resource 'password' are specific, and the adjective 'memorable passphrase-like' clarifies the nature of the output.

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 explicit guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'password_generate'. The description mentions requirements but does not explain context, exclusions, or preferred scenarios. Usage is only implied by the tool name and basic description.

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