v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it is nearly empty. The "(dry-run)" parenthetical hints at a simulation behavior — a trait the agent would badly need to know — but it is unexplained and contradicts the "Create" verb, leaving mutation semantics, auth requirements (token), and effect of confirm entirely opaque.
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 definition is brief, but this is under-specification rather than conciseness — the single phrase leaves essential information unstated. It is front-loaded but nearly content-free.
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?
With no annotations, no output schema, and four undocumented parameters including an apparent token/authentication parameter and a dry-run toggle, the description is far too thin for an agent to invoke this tool correctly or safely.
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% across four parameters (token, confirm, body-file, body-json), and the description adds nothing about any of them. In particular, the relationship between body-file and body-json, and what confirm actually triggers, are completely undocumented in both the schema and the description.
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 names a verb and resource ("Create basket"), but the parenthetical "(dry-run)" is ambiguous: it is unclear whether the tool only simulates creation or merely supports a dry-run mode. Without word order or clarification, an agent cannot confidently tell what this tool actually does, and nothing distinguishes it from siblings like food_basket_update or food_basket_delete.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool, when to prefer food_basket_update/delete, or what preconditions/authentication are required. The only hint is the ambiguous "dry-run" tag, which does not tell the agent under what circumstances it should be invoked.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
