Create Leap Motion hand bus

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, and the description adds that it creates a scaffold with placeholders, which clarifies the non-destructive, generative intent. However, it does not disclose any further behavioral traits such as whether it overwrites existing nodes, requires a Leap Motion device, or creates a baseCOMP at a specific path beyond parent_path.

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, front-loaded sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose with no filler. Every phrase adds meaningful detail about the scaffold contents.

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 6 parameters and no output schema, the description is too brief to be contextually complete. It does not explain prerequisites, expected behavior after creation, how the scaffold is used, or what 'setup notes' contain. The openWorldHint annotation suggests potential side effects, but the description lacks context to fully understand the tool's role in a workflow.

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 33% (2 of 6 parameters have descriptions). The description mentions 'CHOP/TOP placeholders, hand maps, gesture maps' but does not explicitly map these to parameters like hand_count, gesture_count, or include_image_top. It fails to compensate for the undocumented parameters, leaving their meanings ambiguous.

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Create a Leap Motion hand/gesture scaffold'. It further enumerates distinct elements ('CHOP/TOP placeholders, hand maps, gesture maps, and setup notes') that distinguish it from sibling tools like 'setup_hand_tracking' or 'create_hand_gesture_bus'.

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 implies usage for scaffolding a Leap Motion hand/gesture setup, but does not explicitly state when to prefer this over alternatives or mention exclusions. No direct comparison with sibling tools is provided, so usage guidance is only implied.

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