penpot_load_token_config

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

Without annotations, the description implies a read-only operation ('read and validate'), but does not disclose error behavior if the file is missing or invalid, nor any state changes. Adequately describes the main behavior but lacks detail on side-effects and auth requirements.

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?

Single sentence is concise and front-loaded with the action ('Read and validate') and output summary. Could benefit from brief structure for clarity, but it's effective.

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 simple read tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description covers the core functionality and return content. Lacks error handling details but is sufficient given the tool's simplicity.

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%, and the description only reiterates the parameter name (tokensPath) without adding meaning (e.g., format restrictions, resolution order). The default value is provided but not explained.

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?

Clearly states it reads and validates a design-token file and returns resolved tables for colors, fonts, spacing, radii, shadows. Differentiates from sibling tools by specifying the exact resource (token config file) and the resolved output.

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 versus alternatives (e.g., other read tools like penpot_get_file_snapshot, penpot_get_shape). No mention of prerequisites or conditions under which it should be preferred.

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