createMarketDriversSlide

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

With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It merely states 'create or update' but does not explain side effects, permissions, or behavior when updating (e.g., whether it replaces the slide or modifies in place). The '_index' parameter's role in updating is only described in the schema, not in the description.

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 sentence of 7 words, which is concise and front-loaded with the key action. However, it may be too terse given the tool's complexity and the need for parameter explanation, but it fits within the constraints of being concise.

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 is too minimal given the tool has 3 parameters, no output schema, and 80+ sibling tools. It fails to explain how to create vs. update, what the 'title' parameter does, or how the slide is positioned. The agent lacks sufficient context to use the tool effectively.

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 description coverage is only 33% (the '_index' parameter has a description). The tool's description does not mention any of the three parameters ('title', '_index', 'drivers'). It adds no meaning beyond what is in the schema, leaving the agent to infer that 'drivers' are the list items, but 'title' and '_index' remain unexplained.

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 states 'Create or update a list of market growth drivers.' This clearly identifies the action (create or update) and the resource (market growth drivers list). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools, which are all different slide types, but does not elaborate on the slide context, which is implicit from the tool name.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Among 80+ sibling slide creation tools, there is no indication of when market drivers are appropriate or when to choose this over a similar tool like 'createDriverTreeSlide'. The agent has no usage context.

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