roslyn:organize_usings_batch

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the default preview behavior, the ability to apply changes, and file pattern support. This is transparent for a batch modification tool.

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 extremely concise: two sentences covering purpose, parameters, and critical preview guidance. Every sentence adds value with no fluff.

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 omits any mention of what the tool returns (output). Given no output schema, an agent lacks understanding of whether the tool returns a diff, status, or list of changes. This is a notable gap for a batch operation.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by emphasizing the preview mode with 'ALWAYS preview first!', which reinforces safe usage. It also contextualizes filePattern as a glob pattern filtering file names.

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 action ('Organize using directives'), the scope ('multiple files in a project'), and the key feature (file pattern filtering). It implicitly distinguishes from the sibling 'roslyn:organize_usings' by specifying batch processing.

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 mentions preview mode and provides a warning to always preview first. However, it does not explicitly contrast with the single-file 'roslyn:organize_usings' or provide when-to-use vs alternatives guidance.

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