Recording → automation script

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does disclose that the generated script uses semantic locators rather than raw coordinates and is portable YAML, which is useful output context. However, it omits side effects, permissions, whether it stops or modifies the recording, and what the tool returns or writes.

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 with no redundant text. It efficiently conveys the core action, output format, and a distinguishing quality of the generated script.

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?

For a tool with a nested target object, no output schema, no annotations, and low parameter description coverage, the description is too thin. It explains the output artifact but not the inputs, side effects, or workflow position needed to invoke the tool correctly.

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 has only 33% description coverage across three parameters, including a nested target object, yet the description gives no information about name, stop, or target fields. It does not compensate for the low schema coverage, so parameter meaning remains largely undocumented.

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 a specific transformation: converting the current/last recording into a portable YAML automation script. It names the output format and a key output property (semantic locators, never raw coordinates), so the agent can identify the tool's purpose. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings such as computer_record_stop or computer_run_script.

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 phrase 'current/last recording' implies this is used after a recording exists, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no alternatives named. It does not say whether to stop recording first, which sibling to use instead, or in what workflow context this conversion should be invoked.

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