tilemap

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the description's listing of mutation actions (create, set, paint) aligns and adds no contradiction. However, it does not reveal any additional behavioral traits such as statefulness, required permissions, or error behavior beyond what the annotations convey.

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 very short (two sentences) and front-loads the purpose. However, the pipe-separated action list is informal and could be formatted as a bullet list for clarity. It earns its place but could be more 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?

With 6 parameters, no output schema, and sparse annotations, the description is insufficient for an agent to understand usage fully. The reference to 'help tool' indicates incompleteness; the description should at least explain common workflows or prerequisites.

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 100% description coverage for all 6 parameters, so the description needs to add minimal extra meaning. It lists the actions but adds no depth beyond the schema; baseline score of 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 states 'TileSet and TileMap management' and lists five specific actions, giving a clear verb-resource combination. However, it lacks a concise summary of the tool's overall function and does not differentiate it from siblings like 'nodes' or 'resources' that might also handle tiles.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'nodes' or 'resources'. The description mentions 'Use help tool for full docs', which shifts the burden to another tool rather than offering immediate selection criteria.

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