rotation-info

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

There are no annotations, so the description must carry the burden. The verb 'Get' implies a non-destructive read operation, but the description does not disclose return format, side effects, or any exceptional behavior. It adds context about the focus on rotation/flip but lacks deeper behavioral details.

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 sentence with no redundant words. It is front-loaded with the action 'Get' and clearly states the resource, making it concise and well-structured.

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 description gives the core function but lacks context about return values (since no output schema exists) and differentiation from the sibling 'orientation' tool. For a simple getter, it is minimally adequate but does not fully inform the agent about what to expect or when to choose it.

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 describes a single nested 'image' object with kind, url, data, path, and buffer, which is fairly self-explanatory. The description adds that the tool derives info from 'image orientation', but does not explain parameter usage or format details. Schema coverage is 0%, but the schema itself provides structural semantics, so the slight clarification in the description justifies a 3.

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 'Get' and a clear resource 'detailed rotation and flip information', which states what the tool does. It distinguishes itself from the sibling 'orientation' by specifying 'detailed rotation and flip', but does not explicitly name that sibling as an alternative.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It simply states the function, leaving it to the agent to infer that this is for rotation/flip info, without mentioning exclusions or related tools.

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