explain_method

Read-onlyIdempotent

Clarifies the file-first quiet-bus method, trust boundaries, idle behavior, and durable tasks before adoption, returning principles, prerequisites, limits, and the free-core link.

Instructions

Explain the file-first quiet-bus method and trust limits; unlike draft_workflow, return concepts rather than a practice sequence. Use before adoption or to clarify idle/durable behavior, not to install software or create schedules. Free offline text computation; no paid APIs or network calls, small bounded work with unbenchmarked latency. Topic selects emphasis, not an integration. Returns principles, prerequisites, limits and the free-core link.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, closed-world, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful context beyond those: free offline text computation, no paid APIs or network calls, bounded work, unbenchmarked latency, and the kinds of concepts returned. Some of this overlaps with openWorldHint=false, but the cost and latency disclosure is additional value.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is front-loaded with purpose and the sibling contrast, then moves through usage, behavior, and return content. It is dense but mostly earns its place; minor redundancy between 'free offline' and 'no paid APIs or network calls' keeps it from being maximally concise.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a one-parameter, read-only explainer with full schema coverage, rich annotations, and an output schema, the description covers what it returns, when to use it, and key behavioral limits. Nothing essential for correct invocation is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the topic enum is already described, so the baseline would be 3. The description adds a meaningful nuance: 'Topic selects emphasis, not an integration,' clarifying that the parameter is a conceptual lens rather than an integration selector.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Explain the file-first quiet-bus method and trust limits.' It also directly distinguishes itself from draft_workflow by returning concepts rather than a practice sequence, so an agent can select it without opening the schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives explicit when-to-use guidance ('before adoption or to clarify idle/durable behavior') and when-not guidance ('not to install software or create schedules'). The contrast with draft_workflow adds a clear alternative for practice sequences.

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