assess_pilates_level

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the outcome ('Returns recommended level, focus areas, and suitable classes'), but does not disclose whether the assessment is read-only, whether it persists any record, or what side effects may occur.

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?

Two crisp sentences with no filler: the first states purpose and audience, the second states the return value. It is front-loaded and every word 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?

Given the schema covers all inputs and the description covers the essential output categories, an agent has enough to select and invoke the tool correctly. It could be stronger on side effects and return format, but for an assessment tool with a fully documented schema, it is substantially complete.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all parameters including goals, experience, injuries, and fitness level are already documented structurally. The description adds no parameter-specific semantics, but the schema fully compensates, so the 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 starts with 'Run a Pilates level assessment', a specific verb and resource, and specifies the studio context. It clearly distinguishes this from all sibling tools, none of which perform an assessment.

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 a clear trigger condition: it is for 'a new or existing student at Pilates With Neelam' who needs a level assessment. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the sibling tools are distinct enough that this is a minor gap.

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