open_dependency_visualizer

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It only says 'launches' without indicating side effects, permissions, or the nature of the 'galaxy' (e.g., read-only visualization). There is no mention of what happens upon execution or what the user will see.

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 extremely short (six words), but this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. It does not front-load actionable information and instead uses a vague metaphor that obscures the tool's function.

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's sibling tools are all security dependency analyses, this description is far too minimal. It does not explain what the 'galaxy' visualization represents, what the output is, or how the 'focus' parameter affects the result. With no annotations and no output schema, the description fails to provide a complete picture.

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 input schema has one optional 'focus' string parameter with no description and 0% schema description coverage. The description does not mention this parameter at all, so the agent cannot infer its purpose or acceptable values.

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 'Launches 3D dependency security galaxy' includes a verb and a metaphorical resource, but the resource is vague and unclear. It could imply a visualization, a game, or an analysis, and it does not distinguish the tool from siblings like dependency_blast_radius or security_audit_graph.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description contains no context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent entirely without direction for selection.

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