manage_blender_addons

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses key behaviors: each operation's effect, install_url supports zip/.py, enable_after defaults true, and lists known addons. Missing details like required permissions or error handling, but sufficient for most use cases.

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 well-organized with clear sections and bullet points. Every sentence adds value, and the most important information (purpose, operations) is front-loaded. No unnecessary text.

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 the tool's complexity (multiple operations, 6 parameters) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers all needed aspects: operation details, parameter usage, known addon names. It is sufficiently complete 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?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions, but the tool description adds significant value by explaining operation semantics, providing known addon names, and describing the enable_after flag behavior beyond the 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?

The description clearly states it manages Blender addons with operations like search, install, enable, disable, and list. It differentiates itself by consolidating multiple addon tasks into one tool, and lists specific examples (e.g., known addon names) to clarify usage.

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 provides explicit operation descriptions and hints at appropriate sequencing (e.g., searching before installing). However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus the sibling 'blender_addons' tool, missing a clear exclusion.

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