v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. '获取' (get) implies a read operation, but the description doesn't specify whether this requires authentication, has rate limits, returns structured data, or has any side effects. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is inadequate behavioral 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?
The description is a single Chinese phrase that directly states the tool's purpose. There's no wasted language or unnecessary elaboration. However, it could be more front-loaded with additional context, but for a simple tool, this is appropriately concise.
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?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and a simple parameterless design, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what information is returned (hardware specs, status, configuration?), format of response, or any behavioral constraints. For even a simple tool, more context would help the agent understand what to expect.
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 tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage. The description doesn't need to explain parameters since none exist. A baseline of 4 is appropriate for parameterless tools where the schema fully documents the absence of inputs.
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 '获取Pico开发板信息' (Get Pico development board information) states a clear verb ('获取' - get) and resource ('Pico开发板信息' - Pico development board information). However, it doesn't distinguish from sibling tools like 'led_control' or 'set_pwm' - those are clearly different operations, but this description doesn't clarify what specific information is retrieved versus other possible information tools.
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 versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites, timing considerations, or relationships to sibling tools. The agent must infer usage purely from the tool name and description without any explicit context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
