Instructions

C2.3/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral-disclosure burden, and it supplies almost none. 'Set' implies mutation, but the description does not state whether this requires an open document, what units the top/bottom/left/right values use, whether changes are reversible, or what side effects occur. This is essentially a restatement of the tool name.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The four-word sentence is front-loaded and wastes nothing in wording. However, it is under-specified rather than appropriately sized for a nine-parameter mutation tool, leaving no structured context about prerequisites or parameter meaning.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given nine parameters, 11% schema coverage, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is far too thin to be complete. An agent cannot confidently call this tool correctly without inferring units, indexing behavior, document targeting, and whether the operation is safe or reversible.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is only 11%, with nine parameters and eight required, so the description must compensate and does not. 'Cell inset spacing' loosely maps to the four numeric inset parameters, but it says nothing about units, index semantics, the document_id default, or how rowIndex/columnIndex/tableIndex/pageIndex locate the target cell.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Set cell inset spacing.' It clearly identifies a table-cell mutation and distinguishes itself from unrelated siblings such as text_setInsetSpacing by naming 'cell.' However, it does not explicitly differentiate itself from nearby table cell tools such as table_setCellFill or table_setCellAlignment.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that text_setInsetSpacing is for text frames, that table_setRowColumnSize is for row/column dimensions, or that a document and table must already be open. The agent is left to infer all usage conditions.

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