ember_project_info

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

No annotations are provided. The description fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, side effects, or what 'comprehensive information' includes. The agent has no idea if this modifies anything or what the output looks like.

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 concise sentence that front-loads the purpose. While minimal, it is efficient and avoids verbosity.

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 tool likely returns complex information about the Ember project, but with no output schema or additional context, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what fields or structure to expect, leaving the agent underinformed.

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 100% for the single parameter (cwd), and the schema already describes it as 'Project directory'. The description adds no extra semantic meaning beyond the schema, earning a baseline score of 3.

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 tool's action ('Get comprehensive information') and the resource ('the current Ember project'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like ember_build or ember_test which have different purposes.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. The agent receives no context about when this tool is appropriate compared to siblings.

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