get_ui_impact

Read-onlyIdempotent

Identify which mapped UI flows are impacted by changed files through entry-file or dependency-closure matches, and flag cases where coverage remains unknown.

Instructions

Find mapped flows whose declared entry files or recorded dependency closures intersect changed files. Unknown coverage remains possible.

B3.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), so the description's job is to add context beyond that. It does: it discloses the two matching criteria (entry files, dependency closures) and a genuine caveat that 'Unknown coverage remains possible', warning the agent that results may be incomplete. It stops short of any pagination or result-shape detail.

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?

Two tense, front-loaded sentences with no filler; the matching condition leads and the caveat follows. Trimmed to the essentials, though the second sentence is a fragment that could be folded in.

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?

With no output schema, zero schema description coverage on five parameters, and list-style limit/offset inputs, the description should explain what identification (project/revision) and pagination mean here, and roughly what comes back. It explains none of these, leaving the agent under-equipped for correct invocation.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and five parameters are undocumented in the schema, so the description carries the full burden. It only hints at the 'files' parameter via 'changed files'; project, revision, limit, and offset are never explained, leaving required scoping and pagination semantics entirely to inference.

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?

The description gives a specific verb ('Find') and a precise resource ('mapped flows'), plus the exact matching condition (declared entry files or recorded dependency closures intersecting changed files). It is clearly an impact-analysis query, though it never names a sibling to sharpen the distinction from get_change_evidence or get_flow_evidence.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The presence of a 'files' input and the phrase 'changed files' implies the tool is used to assess impact for a changeset, but there is no explicit when-to-use statement, no exclusions, and no routing to alternatives such as get_change_evidence. Usage is inferable rather than stated.

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