Instructions

Behavior5/5

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

注解只表明非只读、非破坏性,描述额外披露了 markdown 自动转 XML、发出即上线无草稿、is_private 时仅教职工和本人可见,这些是注解无法覆盖的关键行为。

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?

两句话涵盖核心动作、格式转换、发布特性、隐私设置,信息密度高,无冗余。

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

Completeness4/5

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

对创建帖子的核心行为交代清楚,包括格式转换、发布状态、隐私范围。但未说明成功后的返回内容或可能的错误,在无输出 schema 的情况下略显不足。

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

Parameters4/5

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

描述为 content(自动转 XML)和 is_private(可见范围)提供了额外说明,但 subcategory、thread_type、is_anonymous 等参数无额外解释。schema 覆盖率为 50%,描述部分补偿了缺失。

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?

描述明确说'在 Ed 课程论坛发新帖',具体动词+资源+平台,清楚区别于 ed_post_comment、ed_edit_thread 等兄弟工具。

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

描述暗示这是创建新帖的工具,并补充了发布即生效、无草稿等特性。虽然没有显式说明何时不用(如编辑已有帖子),但结合兄弟工具名称,上下文足够清晰。

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