Browse Meme Templates

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds useful behavioral details: returns top 100 memes, and the search parameter is 'client-side' filtering. This goes beyond annotations by clarifying limits and filtering behavior.

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 extremely concise: two sentences that front-load the core purpose and then provide a clear cross-reference. Every sentence adds value with 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?

Given the tool's simplicity (browse top 100 memes with optional client-side filter), the description covers all necessary context. The output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. The relationship to captioning is noted, making it complete for an AI agent.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. The description adds value by explaining the search is client-side and providing example meme names, which helps the agent understand the tool's scope and behavior.

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 'Get top 100 popular meme templates' with specific examples (Drake Hotline Bling, Two Buttons) and lists return fields (ID, name, image URL, box count). It distinguishes from sibling tool imgflip.caption by explaining the relationship.

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 tells when to use the IDs ('Use IDs with imgflip.caption to generate memes'), providing a direct usage guideline. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool, though it's implied by the context of browsing vs captioning.

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