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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does a good job: it discloses that parameters currently have no effect, that only interactive checking is supported, that the return value has no practical use, and that the call will not wait for execution results. It does not fully describe side effects or UI behavior, but the key caveats are honestly stated.

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 compact and front-loaded with the signature and Chinese summary. The remarks and returns sections repeat the 'no practical effect' point somewhat, but the overall length is appropriate and every section adds necessary caveat information.

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 an order-placing tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the most critical caveats (interactive-only, ineffective params, non-waiting). However, it does not clarify what '通过下单检查' means operationally, whether an actual order is placed, or what the agent should do after the call. The ambiguity between 'place order' and 'only supports interactive checking' leaves gaps.

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?

The schema only provides generic args-array and windowId placeholders, offering no meaning for interactive or ignoreWarning. The description adds the parameter names and types from the signature, which is helpful, but does not explain what each boolean controls. This is partially mitigated by the explicit note that parameters currently have no effect.

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 the specific operation 'PCB 下单' (place PCB order) and includes the full API signature, making the resource and action clear. It is distinguishable from sibling order tools like place_smt_components_order and place_components_order by the explicit PCB scope, though it does not elaborate on what the order process entails.

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 is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or conditions. The remark that it '目前只支持交互式检查' implies a usage context, but there is no explicit when/when-not guidance or mention of sibling tools.

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