Behavior2/5

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

The description adds a '[Write]' tag reinforcing the write nature, but annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false. It does not disclose potential side effects, prerequisites, or error conditions, leaving behavior opaque.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very short and front-loads the purpose. The '[Write]' tag is redundant but not overly distracting. Could be improved by removing the tag or integrating it naturally.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema is provided, and the description does not explain return values or behavior on duplicate names or missing tables. For a create operation with three parameters, more context is needed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all three parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states the action 'Create' and the resource 'mobile layout', and specifies it is 'for a specific view'. However, it does not distinguish from siblings like create_mobile_app_config or create_mobile_applet, leaving ambiguity about what a mobile layout is exactly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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. Sibling tools include list_mobile_layouts and other create_* tools, but the description offers no context for selection.

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