Instructions

Explain architecture diagrams, flowcharts, UML, sequence diagrams, ER diagrams, network diagrams, and system maps.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
imageYesImage source. Supports local file path, http(s) URL, or data:image/...;base64,... Data URL.
modelNoOptional StepFun vision model override.
detailNoStepFun vision detail level. Use high for OCR, screenshots, UI, diagrams, and charts.
questionNoOptional user question or task for this image. If omitted, the tool uses its scenario-specific default task.
max_tokensNoOptional maximum output tokens.
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the purpose and does not describe how the tool processes images, whether it supports questions, what the default task does, or what the output looks like. This is a significant gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that lists supported diagram types without any fluff. It is perfectly sized and immediately front-loads the core purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool has 5 parameters and no output schema or annotations. The description only covers the general purpose and leaves out behavior, return format, and guidance on parameter usage. It is not complete enough for an agent to invoke it correctly without additional inference.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond the schema; it does not even mention parameters. Thus it neither enhances nor detracts from the schema's clarity.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb ('Explain') and names concrete resource types (architecture diagrams, flowcharts, UML, etc.). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like analyze_image or extract_text_from_image, which target generic or OCR-specific use cases.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage context by listing diagram types, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives like analyze_image or analyze_data_visualization. There are no exclusions or comparisons provided.

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