v0.6.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate this is a mutating operation (readOnlyHint=false) but not destructive. The description adds that the surface is extended by distance in mm, but does not disclose potential side effects, units ambiguity, or behavior on invalid edges.
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?
Single sentence of 14 words efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and key parameters without redundancy.
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, the description fails to explain the operation's result (e.g., is a new body created? is the surface returned?). Missing details on units and body identification make it incomplete for confident use.
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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description explains 'edge' as an index and 'distance' in mm, partially compensating. However, 'body' parameter remains undefined (int or string meaning unclear).
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 the verb 'Create', the resource 'ruled surface', and specifies inputs: body edge by index and extension distance. This is distinct from sibling surface tools like patch, stitch, thicken.
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 usage when creating a ruled surface from an edge, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
