securitypass_register_pack

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It adds that contents are validated against a schema, which is genuinely useful behavioral information. But it omits what happens on validation failure, whether an existing pack is overwritten, permission requirements, and the tenant scoping behavior of storage. Not enough for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded action verb followed by validation note. Efficient with no filler, though very sparse given the tool's complexity.

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?

A mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, one undocumented parameter (pack_id), and no information about overwrite behavior, error modes, or the relationship to securitypass_run/status. Inadequate for the operation it performs.

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?

Schema coverage is 50%; the yaml parameter is documented in the schema, but pack_id isn't. The description mentions 'SecurityPack YAML' which clarifies the yaml field's purpose, but adds nothing about pack_id (identity, uniqueness, naming rules). Baseline is 3 given partial coverage.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Save a SecurityPack YAML for the calling tenant.' This is clearly a writer/registration operation and distinguishable from siblings like securitypass_run or securitypass_report. It does not, however, name an alternative in the *pass family to differentiate from e.g. legalpass_save_pack.

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?

There is only implied context: 'for the calling tenant' hints at a multi-tenant scope. No when-to-use vs an update/overwrite sibling, no note about whether this creates vs replaces, and no preconditions. An agent must infer usage entirely.

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