tokportal_generate_warming_terms

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

The description reveals that the operation is free and does not charge credits, which adds useful behavioral context beyond the annotations (which only indicate non-read-only, non-destructive, non-idempotent, non-open-world). It does not discuss any potential side effects or limitations (such as rate limits), but the transparency is good overall.

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 concise (four short sentences), front-loads the key purpose, and every sentence adds essential guidance. There is no wasted text.

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?

Given the tool has no output schema and moderate complexity with three nested parameters, the description adequately covers the purpose, workflow, and usage. It's complete enough for an agent to use correctly, though additional details about output structure would be ideal but not strictly necessary given the downstream integration guidance.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters well. The description adds value by clarifying that the 'text' parameter should be a 'free-text niche description' and that language is inferred, and hints at the count constraint (multiple of 3). This goes slightly beyond the basic schema descriptions.

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 clearly states the verb 'generate' and the resource 'Advanced Niche Warming search terms', and specifies it takes a free-text niche description up to 1000 characters. It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools like tokportal_configure_bundle_warming_terms by noting the output is passed to advanced_warming_terms or search_terms for subsequent use.

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?

The description explicitly tells when to use this tool (to generate search terms from a niche description) and provides clear guidance on what to do with the result ('Pass the result to advanced_warming_terms... or search_terms'). This effectively differentiates it from related tools and outlines the workflow.

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