Create Direct Display output

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

Annotations already declare non-read-only and non-destructive, but the description adds the important safety trait that the scaffold is created inactive-by-default, which is beyond annotation info. It also implies a scaffold (incomplete structure), which is useful behavioral context.

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?

One sentence, immediate verb, no filler. All three content items (inventory, maps, safety notes) are packed into a concise clause.

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 creation tool with 7 parameters and no output schema, the description gives a high-level idea but omits how parameters affect the scaffold, what 'monitor inventory' entails, and what the agent/return should expect. It's sufficient for a knowledgeable user but leaves gaps.

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 29% (only name and parent_path have descriptions), and the description does not mention any parameter or explain how the listed features map to parameters like output_count, display_index, or resolution. Thus it fails 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 states a specific action ('Create') on a specific resource ('Direct Display Out TOP scaffold') and lists key contents (monitor inventory, display maps, safety notes), which clearly distinguishes it from sibling creation tools like create_multi_output or create_dome_output.

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 guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives; no mention of when not to use or what makes this preferred. The description only states what it does, leaving usage decisions to the agent.

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