agentbay_agent_register

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

Discloses side effects: 'Creates a Knowledge Brain and links it to your API key.' However, no annotations exist, and it does not address idempotency, error handling on re-registration, or any rate limits. Adequate but not thorough.

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?

Two sentences, no redundancy. Front-loads the core action, then adds essential context. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Missing output schema, so description should clarify return value. It does not mention what the tool returns (e.g., success, agent ID). Also lacks details on prerequisites like API key setup. Adequate but gaps remain.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage, so baseline is 3. Description adds no parameter-specific detail beyond what the schema provides. No bonus.

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 the action: 'Register this agent with AgentBay.' Also specifies it's a prerequisite for memory tools, distinguishing it from siblings. No ambiguity.

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?

Explicitly states 'Required before using agent memory tools (agent_memory_record, agent_memory_query).' This tells the agent exactly when to use this tool and what depends on it.

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