game_navigate_path

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

No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose side effects, performance implications, or whether it is a read-only operation. It also does not explain the 'optimize' parameter's effect or the return format.

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 very concise (one sentence), but it sacrifices important details. It is front-loaded with the core action, but lacks structure to include parameter or usage info.

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 involves nested objects and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain return values, coordinate systems, or whether it works in both 2D and 3D, leaving gaps for the agent.

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?

Although input schema has 100% coverage, the description adds no extra meaning beyond restating the tool's purpose. It does not elaborate on the start/end points or the optimization flag, which would help the agent use the parameters correctly.

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 tool queries a navigation path between two points, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like game_navigation_3d, which likely deals with navigation setup, by focusing on path querying.

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 on when to use this tool vs. alternatives (e.g., game_path_2d, game_path_3d) or when not to use it. The description lacks context about prerequisites or constraints.

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