lithtrix_register

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

No annotations provided, but the description fully compensates: it discloses that the API key is shown only once and must be stored immediately, that no authentication is required, and details pricing, credit expiry, referral credits, and the Gentle-Agent Agreement. All behavioral traits are transparent.

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?

Description is a single paragraph but covers all necessary details. It is somewhat lengthy but every sentence adds value. Could benefit from structuring (e.g., separate pricing info), but still concise enough for the information density.

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?

Despite no output schema, the description explains the one-time nature of the api_key output and pricing details. It covers all parameters and provides context on referral, terms, and constraints. For a registration tool, it is fully 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?

Schema coverage is 100%, yet the description adds significant meaning: explains the one-time key output, pricing context for credits, referral agent UUID semantics, and constraints on agent_name and owner_identifier beyond regex and lengths. Greatly enhances parameter understanding.

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?

Description clearly states 'Register a new agent with Lithtrix and receive a one-time API key.' It specifies the action (register) and resource (new agent). No sibling tool duplicates this purpose, so it is well-differentiated.

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?

Description explicitly says 'Call this tool once to obtain your LITHTRIX_API_KEY,' indicating one-time use. It provides context on credits, referral, and terms without explicitly stating when not to use it, but usage context is clear.

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