Create workout template

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

Without annotations, description has full burden. It does not disclose whether updates are partial or full, validation behavior, or side effects. For a complex tool with nested schema, this is insufficient.

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?

Very concise (16 words) but lacks necessary detail. Front-loaded with action, but under-specification harms utility.

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?

Complex schema with many nested fields, no output schema, many sibling tools. Description fails to provide sufficient context for agent to invoke correctly or choose between alternatives.

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 0%, yet description only mentions template parameter implicitly via 'requires exercise IDs'. Does not explain structure, field meanings, or construction of template object. Critical gap.

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 creates or updates a workout template/routine and mentions requirement for exercise IDs. Distinguishes from sibling tools like ryot_create_minimum_routine_template, though not explicitly.

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?

Implies need for Ryot exercise IDs but gives no guidance on when to use vs alternatives (e.g., simpler template creation, direct logging). No when-not or prerequisites beyond the ID requirement.

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