clyphx_snap

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

No annotations provided; description only mentions action types without detailing side effects, permissions, or destructive behavior (e.g., DEL action). Minimal behavioral context.

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?

Extremely concise: one-line summary followed by a short list of examples. Every sentence is useful and front-loaded.

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 single parameter and presence of output schema, the description adequately explains how to construct the action string. Could mention return value or error handling, but output schema likely covers it.

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 has one undocumented parameter 'action'. Description adds significant value by providing format and concrete examples (e.g., 'SNAP name STORE'), compensating for 0% schema coverage.

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 it executes a ClyphX Pro snap action and provides common actions like STORE, RECALL, DEL. It distinguishes from sibling tools by focusing on snapshot operations.

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 lists common actions but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives. It lacks guidance on when not to use it or references to sibling tools.

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