slugify_text

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

The description only states the high-level purpose without detailing the slugification algorithm (e.g., character removal, Unicode handling). Annotations provide only readOnlyHint=false, so the description carries the full burden but fails to disclose key behaviors.

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?

Extremely concise (6 words), stating the core purpose without filler. However, it may be too terse and misses useful context that could be added without much length.

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?

For a simple slugify tool, the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks explanation of what constitutes a 'slug' behavior (e.g., how separator and lowercase affect output). No output schema exists to fill the gap.

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 covers all parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). Description adds no extra information about parameters, hence baseline score of 3.

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?

Clear verb ('convert') and specific resource ('text to URL-friendly slug format'), which distinguishes it from similarly named text conversion tools like convert_text_to_kebabcase. No explicit sibling differentiation, but the purpose is evident.

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 usage guidelines provided. The description does not specify when to use this tool over alternatives like convert_text_to_kebabcase or convert_text_to_lowercase. An agent would have no guidance on choosing between them.

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