create_jis_bolt

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

No annotations are provided, so description must fully disclose behavior. It only states that a new component is created at a position, lacking details on side effects, error handling, or any constraints. Minimal transparency for a creation tool.

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 succinct sentences convey the core purpose and effect. No wasted words; front-loaded with the key action. Excellent conciseness.

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?

Given no output schema and simple creation, description is largely sufficient. It could mention that the bolt is added to the active design, but overall covers essential context for a tool with fully documented parameters.

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?

Input schema has 100% description coverage, so baseline is 3. Description adds the context that the bolt becomes a new component, but does not enhance understanding of individual parameters beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

Description clearly states creation of a JIS standard bolt with two specific types (socket head B1176 or hex head B1180). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools that create other fasteners like nuts, screws, and washers.

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?

Description implies usage for creating bolts but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_jis_screw or when not to use it. No exclusions or context for decision-making.

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