ai_summarize

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

No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It only discloses the pay-per-call model and that it uses Claude. It does not disclose rate limits, auth requirements, input size limits, or any side effects (e.g., no destructive behavior).

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 sentences: first states purpose and output format, second explains payment model. Efficient, front-loaded, and 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?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, output format, and pricing. It could mention input size constraints or error handling, but overall it is fairly complete.

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?

The single parameter 'text' is described in the schema as 'Text to summarize'. The description adds no additional meaning (e.g., length limits, formatting). With 100% schema coverage, baseline is 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 verb (summarize), resource (text), and output format (3-5 bullet points). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'ai_translate' or 'ai_extract' by explicitly targeting summarization.

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 mentions pay-per-call and no API key needed, which implies when to use (quick summaries without setup), but it does not provide when-not-to-use guidelines or explicitly compare with other tools for alternative actions.

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