nexo_smart_startup

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

Without annotations, the description discloses the tool is a read-like operation (pre-loads), returns a limited set (up to 10), and uses current operational state. It does not explicitly mention if it has side effects, but the safety profile is implied by 'pre-load'.

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?

Two sentences, each earning its place: the first describes the action, the second provides usage guidance and output limit. No redundancy or wasted words.

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 has no parameters, no output schema, and simple behavior, the description is complete. It covers what it does, when to use it, and what to expect in return.

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?

There are no parameters, and the schema coverage is 100%. The description adds meaning by explaining that the tool uses internal state (pending followups, reminders, last session) and current operational state, which is not visible in the schema.

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 the tool pre-loads cognitive memories based on followups, reminders, and last session topics. It distinguishes itself from nexo_startup by specifying it should be called after that, and from other memory tools by its specific startup context.

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 explicitly states when to call (after nexo_startup, during startup) and what it returns (up to 10 memories). It does not explicitly state when not to use or provide alternative tools, but the usage context is clear.

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