design_block_design

Create a block design in Vivado by specifying parameters such as IP cores, connections, and constraints. This tool automates the design workflow, enabling AI agents to generate hardware architectures for synthesis and implementation.

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It fails to indicate whether the tool is read-only or destructive, what side effects occur, or any authorization requirements. The term 'design' implies creation or modification but is not explicit.

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?

The description is a single sentence, concise and front-loaded. However, it lacks essential information, but for what it contains, it is efficiently structured.

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?

Given the presence of an output schema (though not described here), the tool's complexity is moderate with one open parameter. The description is insufficiently complete; it does not explain return values, workflow behavior, or how the 'params' object should be structured.

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 0%, meaning the description must compensate for the lack of parameter documentation. The single parameter 'params' is an open object with no constraints or examples in the description, offering no additional meaning beyond the schema.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description 'Design a block design workflow intent' indicates a design action related to block design workflows, but the verb 'design' is vague and the term 'block design workflow intent' is unclear. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'design_ip' but lacks specificity about what the tool produces or modifies.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'design_ip' or 'create_workflow'. The description does not mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent without clear direction for selection.

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