run_experiment

Run an experiment command with auto-wired configuration and capture stdout/stderr to log files. For GPU training, use the CQ service queue instead.

Instructions

Execute cq.yaml.cmd with auto-wired CQ_CONFIG_JSON env. Captures stdout/stderr to .pcq/run_*.log. For long-running GPU training, prefer the CQ service queue.

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden; it discloses log capture and environment injection but omits return behavior, success/failure signals, and potential side effects like log overwrites.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three sentences, no fluff, front-loads the main action and alternative guidance efficiently.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Adequate for a simple tool but lacks explanation of how to retrieve results post-execution and full behavior of 'config_only' mode, which reduces completeness for an AI agent.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The description adds no detail about the 'path' parameter (default '.') beyond the schema, and only one parameter has schema description; minimal extra guidance for correct usage.

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?

The description clearly states the tool executes a command from cq.yaml.cmd with an auto-wired environment variable and captures logs, distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'agent_install' or 'apply_plan'.

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?

Explicitly advises against using for long-running GPU training, instead recommending the CQ service queue, providing clear when-to-use guidance.

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