origin_browse_knowledge

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

No annotations provided. The description does not disclose behavioral traits beyond 'browse', such as whether it is read-only, what side effects occur, or permission requirements. The agent has no extra context.

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 a single sentence, which is concise but lacks structure. It could be improved by adding bullet points or clarifying the parameter roles.

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 3 optional parameters and an output schema, the description is too brief. It does not specify what the output contains, how to use the parameters effectively, or what constitutes a 'knowledge base' entry. Incomplete 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 0%, so description must compensate. It mentions 'collection and path' but the schema has 'collection', 'topic', and 'version'. There is no explanation of how 'topic' or 'version' relate to a path. This mismatch misleads about the parameters.

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 uses a specific verb ('Browse') and names the resource ('local Origin knowledge base') and mentions parameters ('collection and path'). However, it refers to 'path' while the schema includes 'topic' and 'version', causing slight mismatch. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'origin_query_knowledge' in name.

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 alternatives such as 'origin_query_knowledge'. The description provides no context about which scenarios favor browsing over querying.

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