register_my_agent

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

Discloses that the API key is shown only once, which is a critical behavioral trait for a registration tool. However, it does not mention error cases, auth needs, or idempotency.

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?

Extremely concise: two sentences and an Args list. Critical information (API key warning) is front-loaded. No wasted words.

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?

Adequate for a simple creation tool: explains purpose, key parameter roles, and a behavioral warning. Missing details like uniqueness constraints or error handling, but output schema may cover return values.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds minimal context by labeling the parameters 'Agent name' and 'Agent description'. This is better than nothing but not rich.

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?

Clearly states 'Register a new remote agent' with a specific verb and resource. Includes a crucial caveat about the one-time API key display, which adds context beyond a basic description.

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 like other agent-related tools. Does not mention context, prerequisites, or when not to use it.

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