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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but offers minimal behavioral context. It states the action is 'unmount' (implying a safe disconnection rather than destructive removal), but doesn't mention whether data persists, if the drive remains accessible afterward, or what happens to mounted files. More operational details would help the agent understand 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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that communicates the core action without unnecessary words. It's front-loaded with the essential verb-noun combination, making it immediately scannable and understandable.

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 tool that performs a drive operation with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what 'unmount' entails operationally, what state the drive is left in, or what the agent should expect after invocation. More context about the action's effects would be needed for proper use.

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 description coverage is 100% with the single parameter 'drive' well-documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter context beyond what's in the schema, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage without compensating value.

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 action ('Unmount') and resource ('disk image from drive'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't explicitly distinguish from siblings like 'drive_off' or 'drive_reset', but the specific unmounting action is distinct enough from general drive operations.

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 is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it doesn't mention whether this should be used before removing physical media or how it differs from 'drive_off' (which might power down the drive). The description only states what it does, not when it's appropriate.

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