Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the description does not need to restate mutation or world creation. It adds context by mentioning the scaffold contains panel maps, touch-slot maps, and platform notes, which implies multi-component creation. However, it does not disclose potential side effects, required permissions, or interaction with existing networks, leaving some gaps.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, compact sentence that conveys the core purpose and key inclusions without any filler. It is well-structured and easy to parse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool creates a scaffold with multiple components, yet the description is minimal. There is no output schema, so the description should explain what the scaffold looks like, what parameters control, and what the expected result is. It does not provide enough detail for a complex creation tool, especially given the large sibling list with similar names.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is only 33%, with only 'name' and 'parent_path' described. The description does not elaborate on any parameters or how they influence the scaffold. It mentions 'panel maps' which could relate to panel_count, but this is not explicit. The description 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.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Create a Windows Multi Touch In DAT scaffold' with specific contents (panel maps, touch-slot maps, platform notes). This distinguishes it from sibling creation tools by naming the exact resource type and platform. The verb 'Create' is specific and the scope is clear.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or related tools. The description only states what it does, leaving the agent to infer appropriate usage from the name and context.

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