oracle_graph_info

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

The description states it returns counts, distribution, and edge types, but does not disclose preconditions (e.g., graph must be loaded) or error behavior. No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden, which is partially met but could be more explicit.

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?

A single sentence of 13 words, front-loaded with the core action 'Get node/edge counts, type distribution'. No unnecessary text; every word adds value.

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 a parameter-less tool with an output schema, the description adequately covers the returned information. However, it could mention preconditions like requiring a loaded graph. Overall, it is nearly complete.

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?

No parameters exist, so the schema covers 100%. Description adds no param info, but baseline for zero-param tools is 4, as there is no need for additional parameter semantics.

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 specifies it retrieves node and edge counts, type distribution, and available edge types, which is a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like oracle_get_node (specific node) and oracle_list_nodes (listing nodes).

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like oracle_list_nodes or oracle_search_nodes. The description implies it is for aggregate statistics, but does not state exclusion criteria or provide comparative advice.

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