add_container

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

There are no annotations, and the description provides minimal behavioral context. It does not mention that this is a write operation, what happens to the added container (e.g., goes to linkgrabber), or any side effects. The word 'Add' implies mutation, but no further transparency is offered.

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 action and resource. It avoids redundancy and includes only essential information, making it easy to scan and understand.

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?

With only two parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is relatively complete for a simple tool. Yet it lacks context about what 'content' means, whether the container is added to a specific list, and what the expected outcome is. This leaves the agent uncertain about the exact invocation semantics.

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 0%, so the description must clarify parameters. It does add value by enumerating allowed container_type values (DLC | RSDF | CCF), which the schema does not provide as enums. However, 'content' is left vague—only described as 'by its content' without explaining what format or source is expected. Partial compensation for schema gap.

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 a specific action ('Add') applied to a specific resource ('link container'), and lists the valid container types (DLC | RSDF | CCF). It distinguishes itself from the sibling 'add_links' by targeting container files rather than plain links.

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 usage: use this when you have a container file to add. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like 'add_links' or state when not to use it. The guidance is implicit rather than explicit.

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