octane_queue_recipe

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

No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It only states the action without side effects, permissions, or consequences (e.g., whether queuing overwrites, requires prior steps). Minimal transparency.

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?

Single sentence, front-loaded with verb and resource. Efficient but could benefit from bullet points or structured breakdown for clarity.

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 tool has an output schema but no annotations, the description is too brief to fully inform an agent. Key concepts like 'checked-in' and 'recipe command sequence' are undefined, and the overrides structure is ambiguous.

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?

Description adds meaning for the two parameters: 'by slug' clarifies the required slug parameter, and 'optional per-op payload overrides' explains the overrides parameter. However, it does not detail the structure or expected format of overrides, leaving gaps.

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?

Description states the action (Queue) and resource (checked-in recipe command sequence by slug) clearly. It uses specific vocabulary that differentiates from siblings like octane_load_recipe or octane_recipe_book, but does not explicitly contrast with them.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, contexts, or cases where this tool is inappropriate.

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