change_government

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

No annotations provided, so description must cover behavior. It mentions 'no anarchy' for first switch, implying penalties for subsequent ones, but does not detail side effects like anarchy duration or other consequences.

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?

Three concise sentences with clear purpose front-loaded. No 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 simple action and presence of output schema, description covers the essential: purpose, parameter hints, and a key behavioral note. Missing details about consequences of non-first switches, but overall adequate.

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?

Only parameter government_type has no schema description (0% coverage). Description gives examples but no full list of valid values, leaving ambiguity. Compensates partially but insufficiently.

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?

Description clearly states 'Switch to a different government type' with specific verb and resource. Examples given, and it distinguishes from related tools like set_policies and choose_dedication.

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?

Tells when to use ('Use get_policies to see current government') and provides a behavioral tip about first switch being free. Does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use, but context is adequate.

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