Guide

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 usefully discloses the guide's content (workflow, conventions, tool routing), which is meaningful for a reference tool, but it never states that it is side-effect-free/read-only or that its content is static and authoritative. Adequate but thin for a tool with zero annotation coverage.

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?

A single tight sentence, front-loaded with the imperative 'Read this first' and then the content scope. Every clause earns its place with no filler.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, and for a simple one-parameter orientation tool the description covers purpose and content well. The only real gap is the undocumented 'project' parameter.

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 single 'project' parameter has 0% schema description coverage, and the description never mentions it—so neither the field's meaning nor whether it scopes the guide's content is documented anywhere. The description fails to compensate for the coverage gap.

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?

States a specific role: the onboarding/meta-guide for using the DAW as an agent, with the scope enumerated (workflow, conventions, tool routing). It clearly frames itself as the top-level orientation tool. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling help tools (voice_help, instrument_help, fx_help), so it falls short of a 5.

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?

'Read this first' is an explicit, front-loaded when-to-use instruction that tells the agent to consult this before acting. It gives clear context but names no exclusions or alternatives, so it doesn't reach the when/when-not/alternatives bar of a 5.

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