import_signature_svg

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

No annotations provided, so burden falls on description. It only mentions returning status and signature_id, but not side effects, permissions required, or behavior on failure. The name implies a write operation (import), but description suggests read-only validation, which is unclear.

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, concise and to the point. However, it could be slightly more structured with separate lines for input and output.

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 tool with one parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description leaves too much unspecified: what is Profile v1, what is a centerline, what does 'validates' entail, and what are the possible status values. Incomplete for reliable agentic use.

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?

Parameter 'svg_path' has no description in schema (coverage 0%) and the tool description does not elaborate on its format (e.g., file path, URL, content). No added meaning beyond the schema.

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 validation of SVG centerline against Profile v1, but the tool name 'import_signature_svg' suggests import rather than validation. This mismatch reduces clarity. The description does not specify what 'import' means or how validation relates to import.

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 versus alternatives. The description does not mention prerequisites, expected input format, or related tools. Sibling tools exist but no hints are given.

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