download_fluent_dependencies

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

The description discloses authentication requirements (auto-injected from session or explicit), the scope of dependencies (tables/roles outside application scope via global config), and the purpose (set up type definitions). This adds behavioral context beyond the openWorldHint annotation, which itself signals external side effects. No contradiction found.

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?

Three sentences: main action, prerequisite/auth info, and usage context. No filler, front-loaded with the primary verb and object. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

No output schema exists, but the description clarifies what gets downloaded (config and type definitions) and when to run it. For a parameter-light tool with a straightforward file-download purpose, this is sufficient for an agent to plan the task. Additional details like resulting file layout would be nice but not essential.

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 coverage is 100% for all three parameters with descriptive text (auth, debug, workingDirectory). The description does not add parameter-level detail beyond the schema, but the schema already carries the burden. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 'Download' and resource 'configured dependencies from now.config.json and TypeScript type definitions'. It clearly distinguishes from siblings like download_fluent_app (which downloads the app itself) and init_fluent_app (which initializes the project).

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?

Explicitly states when to run ('Run this after init_fluent_app to set up type definitions before development') and describes a specific use case for pulling outside-scope types via dependencies.global. It does not name alternatives, but this tool is unique among siblings, so exclusion guidance is less critical.

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