generate_flutter_localization

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It transparently states that files are generated and identifies the main outputs, but it does not disclose whether existing files are overwritten, whether project configuration is modified beyond l10n.yaml, or whether a Flutter project must already exist.

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 front-loaded sentence that efficiently names all deliverables. Every listed item contributes to tool selection: the config file, the translation format, the locale-switching behavior, and RTL support.

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?

The description lists the key outputs, which is reasonably complete for a code-generation tool with no output schema. It remains incomplete because it does not tie the optional parameters to the generated behavior, does not mention side effects or prerequisites, and gives no indication of what customization gaps a caller should expect.

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?

Schema description coverage is only 33%, and the description adds little parameter-level meaning. The locale list '(en, es, ar)' partially clarifies supportedLocales and defaultLocale, but it does not explain how stringKeys maps into the generated ARB files, what happens when no stringKeys are provided, or how the locale parameters affect output.

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 names a specific verb ('Generates') and a precise set of artifacts: l10n.yaml, standard ARB localization files, a dynamic locale-switching notifier, and RTL handling. This makes the tool's scope immediately clear and distinguishes it from the broader Flutter scaffolding and configuration tools in the sibling list.

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?

When to use the tool is implied clearly by the artifact list: it is for adding ARB-based localization and locale switching to a Flutter project. However, there is no explicit guidance on when not to use it, no stated prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives for simpler or more custom localization setups.

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