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

No annotations provided; description adds some behavioral detail (output filename derived from base resume Contact.Name) but lacks disclosure of side effects like file overwriting or dependency on base resume. 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?

Two concise sentences: first states core function, second adds prerequisite and behavior. No redundant words, front-loaded with essential 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 2 params and no output schema, the description covers purpose, prerequisite, and output naming. Could mention error handling or file system impact, but overall sufficient for this tool's role in the workflow.

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 100% with clear descriptions for both parameters. The description adds extra context: output_path is optional and auto-derived, and filename derives from Contact.Name in the base resume, enhancing schema info.

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 builds a DOCX resume from a tailored JSON file, specifying the input and output. Distinguishes from siblings by mentioning prerequisite validate_resume and unique file generation behavior.

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?

Explicitly states the prerequisite: 'Should only be called after validate_resume passes.' This provides clear usage context, though it doesn't discuss alternatives or when not to use.

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