get_curated_build

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool returns a curated build with specific fields (canvas color, patch list, price range, shipping urgency), implying it's a read-only retrieval. However, it doesn't explicitly state that no side effects occur or disclose any other behavioral nuances.

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 front-loaded with the main purpose and then provides a thorough list of examples. While somewhat lengthy, the examples are valuable and the structure is logical. It could be slightly more concise by grouping similar occasions.

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 a simple single-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the input semantics well and outlines output contents. However, it lacks details on error cases, response format, or how to handle unrecognized occasions, leaving some gaps.

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 schema describes 'occasion' as an event keyword. The description significantly amplifies this by listing many example values and an explicit list of available occasions, adding substantial meaning beyond the schema.

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 returns a curated hat build for an occasion, listing many specific use cases. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish itself from the similar sibling tool 'recommend_build', leaving some ambiguity about when to use which.

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 advises using this tool for a long list of specific queries, providing clear context for many use cases. But it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or mention of alternatives like 'recommend_build' for occasions not listed.

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