get_weapons_report

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does disclose what data the report contains, which is useful behavioral context, but it never states that the tool is read-only, that it has no side effects, or how large/expensive the response is. For a zero-param report tool with no annotation safety profile, that leaves a real gap.

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 that identifies the domain first and then lists the payload contents. Every clause earns its place and nothing is redundant.

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?

For a parameterless read-only report with no output schema, the description supplies enough to know what will come back. Completeness would only be improved by noting that results are read-only and unfiltered.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing to disambiguate and the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly adds no parameter commentary, avoiding noise.

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 resource (weapons and ammunition) and enumerates the concrete contents: weapon types, magazine sizes, per-squad composition, and members without firearms. An agent knows exactly what data this returns, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with the many other get_*_report siblings.

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?

There is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no statement of prerequisites, and no routing to alternatives such as get_squads_report or get_colonists_report, which likely overlap on squad/member data. Usage is only implied by the word 'overview'.

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