serial_generate_report

Read-only

Generate a Markdown summary of device profile, port status, and incidents to open a debugging session or share a hardware snapshot with a human.

Instructions

Markdown summary of device profile, port status and incidents. Use to open a debugging session or hand a human a snapshot; for one fact, call the single-purpose tool.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds value beyond them by disclosing the return format (Markdown) and the aggregated content, which matters since there is no output schema.

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?

Two tight sentences with no filler. The deliverable is front-loaded and the routing rule follows, so an agent can act after one read.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With zero parameters and no output schema, the description carries the return-value burden and largely meets it by naming the sections in the summary. It stops short of stating size, format details, or how it relates to serial_monitor, but nothing needed to call it is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4 and there is no parameter syntax to explain. The description correctly implies a no-argument, whole-snapshot call rather than leaving the agent hunting for a target selector.

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 a specific output artifact (a Markdown summary) and enumerates its contents: device profile, port status, and incidents. That differentiates it from the single-fact siblings in spirit, though it refers to them only generically as 'the single-purpose tool' rather than naming any of the eight.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives explicit when-to-use ('open a debugging session or hand a human a snapshot') and a when-not-to-use rule ('for one fact, call the single-purpose tool'). The exclusion is directional but unnamed, so the agent must infer which sibling covers a given fact.

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