Connect door-access bus

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds context about creating a scaffold with sanitized events and lock-control safety notes, aligning with open-world creation. However, it doesn't disclose whether it actually connects to a live door system, modifies existing nodes, or what side effects occur beyond creating a scaffold. No contradictions.

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 a single sentence with a clear verb and a compact list of scaffold components. It is concise without fluff, though the 'Connect' vs 'Create' inconsistency and vague list could be clearer. It earns its length, but slightly more structure would help.

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 9 parameters, no output schema, and low description coverage, the description is too brief to be complete. It doesn't explain what the scaffold looks like, how parameters affect the output, or what the return value is. The high-level list of components gives some context but leaves significant gaps for a complex creation tool.

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 only 22% (name and parent_path have descriptions). The description references 'adapter source' and 'door maps' but doesn't map them to specific parameters like adapter_url, adapter_mode, or door_count. It leaves event_count, policy_mode, venue_label, and active unexplained, failing to compensate for the low schema coverage.

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 creates a door-access monitoring scaffold with specific elements (sanitized door events, door maps, adapter source, lock-control safety notes). This distinguishes it from numerous sibling bus tools. Minor inconsistency: title says 'Connect' while description says 'Create', but the intent is unambiguous.

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?

The description gives no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites, exclusions, or compare with other bus/scaffold tools. The door-access use case is implied by the name and description, but no clear context or alternatives are provided.

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