aya_tarefas_detectar_ciclos

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

No annotations are present, so the one-line description carries the full behavioral burden. It does not state the return format, whether the graph is modified, or how cycle detection relates to task dependency validation.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. Every word contributes meaning.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description omits the result shape and side-effect profile. An agent must infer what 'detect cycles' returns and whether the operation is read-only.

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 input schema is empty and there are zero parameters, matching the 0-parameter baseline of 4. Nothing further is needed to clarify input semantics.

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 names a specific verb ('Detecta') and a concrete resource ('ciclos no grafo de tarefas'), which clearly differentiates it from task-management siblings like aya_tarefas_listar, aya_tarefas_validar_dependencias, and aya_tarefas_proxima. Even without a title, the agent knows the operation is a task-graph cycle analysis.

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 is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives or what preconditions apply. The description neither names sibling tools nor notes typical usage contexts such as running before dependency validation.

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