rsap_add_nodes

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral transparency. It discloses only that nodes are created and coordinates are in meters, but omits any side effects, behavior on duplicate node numbers, validation rules, or what happens to existing nodes. This is a significant gap for a creation tool.

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 two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose and immediately followed by parameter details. It avoids fluff, but could be slightly more informative without being verbose.

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 lack of annotations and output schema, the description is too thin for a batch creation tool. It does not cover potential issues like node numbering rules, maximum batch size, or error handling, leaving significant gaps for an agent to correctly invoke the tool.

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 0% for the 'nodes' parameter itself, so the description's line 'List of {x, y, z, number?} node specifications (coordinates in m)' adds essential meaning beyond the schema by explaining the structure and units. However, it does not elaborate on optional fields or edge cases, so it only partially compensates for the missing schema description.

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 'Create many nodes at once,' clearly identifying the verb (create), resource (nodes), and distinguishing it from the sibling rsap_add_node by emphasizing batch creation. This is a specific and unambiguous purpose.

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 phrase 'many nodes at once' implies when to use this tool (for batch node creation) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like rsap_add_node for single-node creation. The usage context is implied but not detailed.

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