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

With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'privileged' (hinting at elevated permissions) and 'local RCON' (suggesting a specific protocol), but does not describe potential side effects (e.g., destructive commands), error states, or response characteristics. This is adequate but not thorough.

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?

A single 8-word sentence efficiently conveys the core purpose, access method, and privilege level. Every word contributes meaning; there is no redundancy or filler.

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?

Considering the tool's simplicity (one required parameter, no nested objects) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers the main purpose and connection method. It lacks details about prerequisites (e.g., RCON setup) and error scenarios, but for a straightforward command execution tool, it is mostly 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?

The single parameter 'command' is self-explanatory from the tool's purpose and description, but the description adds no specific meaning beyond the schema (which has 0% description coverage). An example or format hint would strengthen semantic clarity, but the parameter is simple enough that a 3 is reasonable.

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 action ('Run'), the resource ('Minecraft server command'), and the context ('over local RCON' with 'privileged' access). This specific verb+resource combination distinguishes it from sibling tools like skript_check_file or minecraft_logs, which deal with different aspects of server management.

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 no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the context of 'privileged command over RCON' implies it is for executing commands rather than checking files or logs, no direct comparison or exclusion criteria are given, leaving the agent to infer usage boundaries.

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