minimax_smoke

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It clearly states that the tool launches a headless browser and loads a specific URL, which is transparent about its action. It does not mention side effects, but as a smoke test the behavior is self-evident. No contradictions exist between the description and annotations (none provided).

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, tight sentence with no filler. It front-loads the 'Quick health check' label, immediately conveying the tool's niche, and then specifies the exact action. Every word earns its place – highly efficient.

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 parameterless tool with an output schema (present), the description fully covers the action. It does not explain return values or success criteria, but the output schema presumably handles that. The description is complete for an agent to decide when to invoke it and what it will do.

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?

The tool has zero parameters, so the schema coverage is trivially 100%. The description adds no parameter details because none are needed. Per the rule, a 0-parameter tool receives a baseline score of 4; the description is adequate without param information.

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 states a specific action: 'launch headless Camoufox and load example.com.' This is a concrete, scoped health check that clearly differentiates from siblings like minimax_status (which likely reports status) and minimax_window (which manipulates windows). The verb 'launch' and resource 'example.com' make the purpose unambiguous.

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?

The phrase 'Quick health check' implies a verification use case, but the description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like minimax_status or minimax_info. There is no guidance on exclusions or conditions, leaving the agent to infer that this is for a lightweight setup validation.

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