import_style

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral burden, but it does not disclose what importing a style does to existing styles, whether it can overwrite definitions, or any side effects. It only says 'Import a style,' which leaves the mutation behavior completely unexplained.

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 short and front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by parameter notes. Every sentence earns its place, though the brevity borders on under-specification.

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 a tool that imports a style string, the definition omits critical details about the style string format, overwrite behavior, and how this differs from style-management tools. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return values, but the input semantics remain too incomplete for reliable invocation.

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%, so the description must compensate, but it only adds 'Document ID from open_document' and 'Style definition string to import.' The doc_id hint helps, but the style parameter's format, syntax, and accepted values are left entirely unspecified.

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 a specific action ('Import a style') and resource ('the document'), which clearly distinguishes it from sibling export_style. It does not explicitly contrast with style-management siblings, but the core purpose is unambiguous.

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 no guidance on when to use import_style versus alternatives such as manage_style, set_paragraph_style, or export_style. The only contextual hint is that doc_id comes from open_document, which is useful but not sufficient for selecting this tool.

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