vba_assembly_configurations

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

No annotations provided. The description only states 'Generate VBA for managing assembly configurations', which is ambiguous—it could imply code generation or direct manipulation. No side effects, prerequisites, or behavioral traits are disclosed.

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 lacks necessary detail. It does not structure information or front-load key points effectively.

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 complexity (6 parameters, nested objects, no annotations, no output schema), the description is grossly inadequate. It fails to explain operations, parameter coupling, or output, leaving the agent without sufficient context for correct invocation.

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 tool description adds no explanations for any of the 6 parameters. Parameter names like 'componentsToSuppress' and 'displayStates' need clarification, but none is given.

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?

Description includes a specific verb ('Generate VBA') and resource ('assembly configurations'), clearly indicating the tool's function. It distinguishes from sibling tool 'vba_configurations' by specifying 'assembly', but does not elaborate on the scope of 'managing'.

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 over alternatives like 'vba_configurations' or 'create_batch_vba'. The context signals indicate many sibling tools, but the description provides no usage context.

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