pwntools_cyclic_find

Read-onlyIdempotent

Find the offset of a value in a cyclic pattern during exploit development. Input a hex address or sub-pattern to determine its position in the pattern.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. Description adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations provide; it doesn't explain behavior like error handling or result structure.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Single sentence with zero wasted words. Concise and to the point, appropriate for a simple tool.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Description lacks context about the cyclic pattern source (e.g., pwntools_cyclic) and does not mention what the output looks like or how to interpret the offset. Users unfamiliar with pwntools may find it incomplete.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema descriptions cover both parameters (value and length) with clear explanations. Tool description adds no additional semantics beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Description clearly states the tool's function: finding the offset of a value within a cyclic pattern. It uses a specific verb ('Find') and resource ('offset of a value within a cyclic pattern'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like pwntools_cyclic which generates patterns.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., generating a cyclic pattern first) or provide context for selecting this tool among many pwntools siblings.

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