C2.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and delivers almost nothing. It does not disclose whether an existing .lando.yml is overwritten, what the force flag changes, whether a project/Composer setup is required first, or what the tool does to the filesystem.

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?

A single efficient sentence that front-loads the action and artifact with no filler. It is concise, though the brevity is partly under-specification rather than tight editing.

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

Completeness2/5

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

An output schema exists so return values need not be explained, but the description still omits essential context for a generator tool: overwrite behavior, prerequisites, and the meaning of all four optional parameters. An agent could invoke it but not confidently predict the side effects.

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

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% for four parameters (force, webroot, project_name, drupal_version) and the description explains none of them. It does not clarify that webroot maps to the Drupal web directory or that force controls overwriting, so it fails to compensate for the documentation gap.

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 and artifact ("Generate .lando.yml") plus the target context (local Drupal environment), which lets an agent distinguish it from lando_start/lando_stop/lando_exec. It does not, however, explicitly differentiate from ddev_setup, the closest alternative.

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?

No when-to-use guidance at all: it never says to run this before lando_start, nor how it relates to ddev_setup or an existing .lando.yml. The agent must infer placement in the setup sequence.

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