Gradle build files for a loader

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as authentication needs, rate limits, or side effects. It mentions version pinning as a behavioral detail but omits other important aspects like whether the tool is read-only or requires network access.

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 three sentences, front-loading the purpose and adding necessary version pinning detail and a usage instruction. Every sentence earns its place 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?

Given no output schema and the tool's simplicity, the description should specify the return format (e.g., file contents as strings). It also does not address invalid era/loader combos or behavior on failure, leaving gaps for an agent.

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 description adds some context beyond the input schema by noting specific version pins for certain combos (e.g., NeoForge 21.10). However, with 0% schema description coverage, it does not fully explain the enum values or the meaning of each era/loader combination.

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 tool returns Gradle build file templates for a chosen era and loader combination. It uses a specific verb ('Returns') and resource ('build.gradle, settings.gradle, and gradle.properties templates'), and it differentiates from sibling tools like mc_scaffold which likely handle full project generation.

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 lacks guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like mc_scaffold or mc_version_info. It includes a note to bump versions after copying, but no explicit conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions are provided.

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