karea_add_requisite

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

With no annotations, the description mostly carries the burden. It discloses that the tool adds a requisite and returns it, but lacks details on idempotency, permissions, or error conditions. Basic transparency.

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?

A single, well-structured sentence that conveys all essential information without redundancy. Highly concise and front-loaded.

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?

The description covers the core operation and mentions return value. Given the simplicity of the tool and absence of output schema, it is largely complete, though it could hint at potential duplicate handling.

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% so parameters are well-described. The description adds context by framing the parameters as part of a 'closing requisite' concept and mentions the return behavior, providing extra meaning beyond 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 clearly states the verb 'Add', the resource 'closing requisite' (checklist item), and its purpose as a prerequisite for task closure. It distinguishes from sibling tools like karea_add_note and karea_create_task.

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 when to use (when adding a closure prerequisite) but provides no explicit when-not-to-use guidance or comparisons to sibling tools like karea_toggle_requisite. Adequate but minimal.

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