organize_document_layers

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

With no annotations provided, the description bears full responsibility for disclosing side effects. It only gives a vague phrase ('Organize and clean up'), failing to mention that the tool modifies the document in place, whether changes are undoable, or any permission requirements.

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 extremely concise (one sentence), but it is under-specified. While brevity is appreciated, it lacks structure such as bullet points or sections that would improve scannability and completeness.

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 the tool has three boolean parameters and no output schema, the description should provide more context about return values, side effects, and typical outcomes. It does not explain what the tool returns or confirm that it modifies the document directly.

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 100% with clear descriptions for each boolean parameter (deleteEmptyLayers, mergeSimilarLayers, sortLayers). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 'Organize and clean up document layers' clearly states the action (organize/cleanup) and resource (document layers), distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_layer, list_layers, and set_active_layer. However, it does not explicitly list the specific actions (delete empty, merge, sort) which are only revealed in the schema.

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 on when to use this tool versus other tools such as cleanup_document or manual layer management. The description lacks any context about prerequisites, typical use cases, or exclusions.

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