create_weekly_report

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the normalization of week_start to Monday, but lacks additional behavioral details such as whether the report is saved to disk, the format of the returned markdown, or any side effects. The single disclosed trait is helpful but insufficient for a creation tool.

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 a single sentence of 11 words, highly concise and front-loaded with the core purpose. Every word is meaningful and there is no redundant information.

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 has one parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not mention what the tool returns (e.g., a file path, the markdown content, or a confirmation) or any important behavioral context like persistence or side effects. For a creation tool, more completeness is expected.

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%. The description mentions 'week_start' only indirectly by stating normalization, but does not explain the parameter's format, default behavior (empty string), or allowed values. This leaves significant ambiguity for the AI agent.

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 ('Generate'), the resource ('weekly research report markdown'), and a specific detail ('week_start normalized to Monday'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_daily_report and other report or idea tools.

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 implies weekly usage via the tool name and 'weekly' in the description, but does not explicitly state when to use this over alternatives like create_daily_report. No exclusions or context are provided.

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