C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It implies a mutation but says nothing about whether the scene must already exist, whether the index is zero- or one-based, or what the result is. For a state-changing tool this is a meaningful gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One short sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource. The parenthetical examples add minor value without bloat, though they could have been spent on parameter semantics instead.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a trivial two-parameter tool this is close to adequate, but with zero schema coverage, no annotations, and no output schema, the indexing semantics and failure behavior are undocumented. An agent could call it, but might pass the wrong scene_index.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

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, but it does not. It clarifies neither the scene_index convention (0-based? by position?) nor that name is the new label, though the example names hint at typical values.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (Rename) and resource (scene), which cleanly distinguishes it from siblings like create_scene, delete_scene, duplicate_scene, and fire_scene. No explicit sibling routing, but the purpose is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 versus duplicate_scene or create_scene, no prerequisites, and no indication of what happens on failure. The examples of names are illustrative, not usage guidance.

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