analyze_sample_data_export

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

No annotations provided. The description discloses it creates a text file, but does not mention overwrite behavior, permissions, file size limits, or other side effects. Lacks detail for a write operation.

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 two sentences plus an args list, with the main purpose upfront. No unnecessary words, efficient structure.

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 simple 2-param tool, the description covers the basics, but lacks information on output file format (e.g., plain text, CSV) and how to interpret the exported data. Adequate but could be more complete.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaning: 'Absolute path' clarifies the path parameter, and 'Maximum number of samples to export' explains the limit parameter with its default.

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 it exports raw sample data to a text file for analysis, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling analysis tools by focusing on raw data export.

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 'for analysis' implies use for external analysis, but no explicit comparison to sibling tools or conditions for when to use/not use. Guidance is minimal.

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