phase_requirements

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieves the current Space Elevator phase and remaining item requirements from a Satisfactory save to plan next deliveries.

Instructions

Space Elevator: the current phase and what it still wants.

The save's per-phase item table is deprecated; trust the header line over it.

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds a genuine data-quality caveat (deprecated per-phase item table; trust the header line), which is context beyond annotations. However, it doesn't mention what the tool returns, whether 'save' defaults to the current save, or how 'as_of' pinning affects the answer.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the resource and payload; no wasted clauses. The only weakness is that its brevity leaves important details out, but it isn't padding.

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?

No output schema exists, so the description should describe the return shape (current phase name, item list?) more explicitly. With three optional parameters of ambiguous semantics and no guidance on defaults or save pinning, an agent lacks enough to call this confidently without inspecting the schema and experimenting.

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% (only 'as_of' is documented). The description adds no meaning for 'save' or 'world' — it only vaguely references 'the save's per-phase item table' without explaining how to supply or resolve a save. With low coverage, it should compensate but doesn't.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

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

States the specific resource (Space Elevator current phase) and payload ('what it still wants'), which is concrete enough for an agent to know what it returns. No sibling tool overlaps this topic, but the description doesn't explicitly differentiate from alternatives like research or plans. Minor gap: no explicit verb.

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 indication of when to call this versus alternatives, no prerequisites, no mention of the save/as_of/world interplay. The sentence about the deprecated per-phase item table is a data-trust warning, not usage guidance. The agent must infer usage from the name alone.

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