Create Presentation Outline

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It fails to mention whether the operation has side effects, whether it requires any special permissions, or what the output structure looks like. It only states that it generates a plan, leaving the behavioral profile largely unspecified.

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, efficient sentence with no wasted words. However, given the tool's complexity (7 parameters), the description is under-specified and could benefit from additional context without being verbose.

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?

The tool has no output schema, no annotations, and 7 parameters, yet the description is only one sentence. It does not explain the meaning of a 'brief,' what the generated plan will contain, or how to interpret the required inputs. This is insufficient for an agent to use it confidently.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not compensate by explaining what a 'brief' comprises or what each parameter (topic, objective, audience, tone, etc.) contributes. The description adds no semantic value beyond the parameter names.

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 the specific verb 'generates' with the resource 'presentation plan' and clarifies the input source 'from a brief.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_presentation and generate_presentation_from_brief by emphasizing the outline/plan output rather than the full presentation.

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 choose this tool over alternatives such as generate_presentation_from_brief or create_presentation. The description only states what it does, without providing any contextual triggers or criteria for selection.

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