bricks_generate_element

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

Discloses it is local, no API call, and returns an object. With no annotations, it covers key behavioral traits well, though no mention of state modification or permissions.

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?

Two sentences with zero waste, front-loading key information (generation, local, no API, ready-to-use, auto-generated ID).

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?

No output schema, but description explains return value sufficiently. Lacks error handling or side-effect details, but generation tools are straightforward.

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 coverage 100%, baseline 3. Description adds 'auto-generated ID' and implies merging with defaults, adding value beyond schema.

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?

Clearly states it generates a single Bricks element JSON, is a local helper with no API call, and returns a ready-to-use object. Distinguishes from sibling tools that likely involve API calls or mutations.

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?

Explicitly mentions 'LOCAL helper — no API call', indicating when to use for generating without side effects. No explicit when-not or alternatives, but sibling context provides cues.

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