deploy_token

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

Given no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses env var requirement and fee, but does not mention return value (transaction hash?), asynchronous behavior, or failure modes. Adequate but missing some operational details.

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 sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no filler words. Every sentence adds value (purpose, requirement, cost).

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 blockchain deploy tool, description covers network, factory, env var, fee. Missing return value expectation (transaction? token address?) and fails to mention default values for parameters (though in schema). Adequate but not 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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond the schema's own descriptions. No extra value for parameters.

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 'Deploy' and the resource 'ERC-20 token via SimpleTokenFactory on Base mainnet'. It distinguishes from siblings (get_deployer_tokens, get_deployment, etc.) by being the only action-oriented tool.

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 specifies prerequisite (DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY env var) and cost (0.0005 ETH fee), giving clear context for when to use. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives, though siblings are all query tools, so usage is implied.

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