EasyEDA API inventory

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint as true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that it inspects the 'live' runtime and lists 'documented' APIs, implying dynamic behavior. However, it does not disclose details like performance impact or scope of what is listed.

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 a single sentence, concise and free of fluff. However, it omits critical information about the filter parameter, which would improve clarity. It is efficient but could be more comprehensive without sacrificing conciseness.

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 that the tool has an output schema (not shown) and one optional parameter, the description provides a basic understanding of the tool's purpose. However, it fails to explain the filter parameter, which is necessary for correct usage. The presence of an output schema somewhat mitigates the need to describe return values, but the filter gap remains.

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 no description in the schema (0% coverage), and the tool description does not mention it at all. This leaves the agent with no clue about its purpose, allowed values, or how to use it. The description must compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 clearly states the tool lists 'documented API classes, runtime paths, and methods' from the live EasyEDA extension runtime. The verb 'inspect' and 'list' are specific, and the resource is well-defined. This distinguishes it from sibling tools that focus on board dimensions, schematic editing, or other tasks.

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 description implies the tool is for discovering available APIs, but it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives, nor does it mention when not to use it. The context is clear enough for most agents, but lacks explicit usage boundaries.

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