export_embed_card_query

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It only states 'Export results' without clarifying side effects (read-only), authentication needs, or return format behavior. Missing details on whether the tool downloads a file or returns data.

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?

One very short sentence, but it omits essential details. For a tool with a complex input schema, this is under-specified rather than 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?

No output schema, so description should describe the return value (e.g., file download). It does not. The description lacks completeness for an agent to correctly invoke the tool, especially given the nested parameter structure.

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% for the 'input' object; only 'export_format' has a minimal description ('Export format'). The description adds no explanation of the token required or the meaning of export_format values. With nested parameters, this is insufficient.

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 action ('Export results of an embedded card query') and the platform (Metabase). It distinguishes from siblings by specifying 'embedded card query', but does not explicitly differentiate from similar tools like export_embed_dashcard_query.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., export_card_query, export_embed_dashcard_query). No context provided about prerequisites or constraints.

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