aiworkhub_agent_tool_instruction_inspect

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It discloses the repository-root scope and that the operation is MCP-bound, but it does not state whether the inspection is read-only, what files are read, whether access requires permissions, or what the output contains.

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 definition is a single short sentence, which is concise, but it is under-specified rather than efficiently informative. The cryptic "MCP-bound" prefix does not compensate for the missing object of inspection.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. However, with no annotations, an undocumented provider parameter, and no differentiation from closely related preview/apply siblings, the description is not complete enough for an agent to select and invoke the tool confidently.

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 description coverage is 0% and the single required parameter, provider, has an enum of instruction-file names. The description never mentions the provider parameter, the enum values, or how provider selection affects the inspection, so it adds no meaning 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 names an action, "inspect," and a scope, "the server's active repository root," but it does not state what is being inspected or why. The tool name implies agent instruction inspection, yet the description itself leaves the resource vague and does not differentiate it from sibling tools such as aiworkhub_agent_tool_instruction_preview and aiworkhub_agent_tool_instruction_apply.

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?

There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus the related preview or apply tools. The description mentions the active repository root, implying context, but it provides no usage conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions.

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