info

Read-only

Displays an open waveform's file, time range, signals, and built-in AXI/SPI/UART decode interfaces with their decode lines.

Instructions

The open waveform: file, time range, signals, and the interfaces a built-in protocol decodes, each with its decode line.

B3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so safety behavior is covered. The description adds that the tool returns the open waveform, file, time range, signals, and protocol decode interfaces, but it does not clarify output structure or how the 'decode' line is presented.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The definition is a single concise sentence, but it is structured as a noun phrase fragment rather than a clear action statement. Terms like 'interfaces a built-in protocol decodes' and 'decode line' are left unexplained.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple, parameterless read tool with no output schema, the description should clarify both return shape and relation to sibling tools. It lists several returned elements but does not explain how this differs from `view`, `present`, `help`, or `signals`, leaving meaningful ambiguity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters, and the schema is empty, so there is no parameter semantics to document. The baseline for a parameterless tool is 4.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a resource ('the open waveform') and lists what info it exposes, but it never states a clear verb or action. It is more specific than a tautology, yet it does not clearly distinguish this tool from siblings like `view`, `present`, or `signals`.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool, when not to use it, or which sibling to choose instead. The description only describes contents, leaving the agent to infer usage context.

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