plan_task_pack

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

No annotations are present, so the description bears full burden. It only states the verb 'plan' but does not disclose side effects, state changes, authorization needs, or output behavior. The agent cannot infer what happens after calling this tool.

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 a single, direct sentence with no filler. It is appropriately front-loaded. However, given the parameter count and lack of detail, it may be too terse, but conciseness is about efficiency, not 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?

With 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain what 'curated task-pack preset' means, what the output looks like, or any constraints. This leaves significant gaps for correct tool invocation.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds meaning for 'pack' and 'task' via the phrase 'task-pack preset', but leaves 'cwd' and 'max_agents' completely unexplained. This is insufficient for a 4-parameter tool.

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 'Plan a task using a curated task-pack preset' clearly indicates the tool's action (planning) and resource (task-pack preset). It distinguishes from sibling 'plan_task' which likely plans without a predefined pack, though the term 'curated task-pack preset' may require domain knowledge.

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 over alternatives. The description does not mention contexts, prerequisites, or comparisons to siblings like 'plan_task' or 'list_task_packs'.

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