EasyEDA API inventory

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that it inspects the 'live' runtime rather than static docs, which is mildly useful, but says nothing about cost, pagination, or what 'documented' excludes.

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?

One sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, no filler. It is arguably too terse rather than too long, but structurally clean.

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, but the undocumented 'filter' parameter and the absence of any tie-breaker against seven other introspection-style siblings leave the definition not quite complete for correct invocation.

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 'filter' parameter has 0% schema description coverage, and the description never mentions it or explains its syntax (substring? glob? class-name match?). With a real parameter present and no schema help, the description should compensate but does not.

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 verb (list/inspect) and a distinct resource (documented API classes, runtime paths, methods) in the live EasyEDA extension runtime. This is clearly separable from siblings like easyeda_get_capabilities or easyeda_get_feature_flags, though the description never names those siblings to reinforce the boundary.

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 indication of when to use this versus easyeda_get_capabilities, easyeda_get_tool_profiles, or the other introspection siblings. The agent is left to infer the distinction from the resource noun alone.

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