nexo_system_catalog

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

Described as a read operation (non-destructive) and 'live' indicates dynamic data. No annotations exist, so description covers basic safety, but lacks detail on performance or response format.

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?

Single, front-loaded sentence efficiently conveys purpose and scope. No redundant information.

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?

With no output schema, the description leaves the agent unaware of the return structure. While adequate for a simple read, it could mention that result includes listed components.

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?

Parameters (section, query, limit) are not mentioned in the description. Schema coverage is 0%, so description fails to explain how to filter or paginate the catalog.

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 reads a live system catalog and enumerates its contents (tools, plugins, skills, etc.), distinguishing it from siblings like nexo_card_catalog.

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 versus other catalog or search tools. It does not specify prerequisites or alternatives.

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