get_base_resume

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

Describes output format (bundled file with summary), but no annotations exist. Lacks disclosure on side effects, permissions, or whether it's read-only. Some value added beyond raw schema.

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?

Single sentence with clear action and result. Front-loaded with key purpose, no wasted words.

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?

Adequate for a zero-parameter retrieval tool. Describes what is returned and adds context about the summary. Could note static vs. dynamic nature, but not essential.

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?

No parameters; baseline 4 applies. Description adds value by explaining the output structure (job summary with bullet counts), though no parameter semantics to clarify.

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 the tool returns the base_resume.json file with a job summary showing bullet counts. Distinct from siblings like 'get_jd' and 'set_base_resume'.

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?

Implied usage as source of truth, but no explicit guidance on when to use vs. alternatives like 'get_skill' or 'list_resumes'. No when-not scenarios.

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