memoryos_register_global_agent

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does disclose that the API key is returned only once, which is valuable, but it does not mention authorization requirements, whether registration creates a persistent resource, side effects, or what happens if registration is attempted twice. The one disclosed behavior is useful but the overall picture is thin.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word adds meaning, and the most important behavioral fact—that the API key is returned once—is included without extra verbiage.

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?

Although the registration outcome is stated, the description is not complete enough for correct invocation. It lacks parameter guidance, prerequisites, response structure, and behavioral caveats. With six parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description leaves critical gaps that an agent must resolve through guesswork.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no meaning for any of the six parameters, not even the required name and redirect_uri. The agent is left without guidance on what values to supply, what format redirect_uri should take, or how optional fields like default_categories_requested affect the registration. The description does nothing to compensate for the complete lack of schema-level parameter documentation.

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 uses a specific verb ('Register'), names the exact resource ('a global cross-agent MemoryOS agent'), and states the outcome ('receive its agent API key once'). This clearly differentiates the tool from sibling tools like memoryos_get_global_agent, since registering is distinct from retrieving an existing agent.

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?

The description implies the tool is for initial global-agent registration, but it does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives such as memoryos_get_global_agent, nor does it mention prerequisites or any 'use this only if...' conditions. The intended use is inferable but not spelled out.

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