read_container

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavioral traits. It only states the action without any mention of side effects, permissions, return behavior, or safety profile. The description adds no behavioral transparency beyond what is implied by the name.

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 extremely brief, which is concise, but it is also under-specified and lacks any structure beyond a simple phrase. While it is not verbose, it fails to convey necessary information, making it inappropriately sized for the tool's context.

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?

With no output schema and a simple description, the tool is contextually incomplete. It does not explain what a 'container layout' is, what data is returned, or how the parameters affect the operation. The description is insufficient for an agent to fully understand and correctly invoke the tool.

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 input schema has full 100% coverage, with descriptions for both 'name' and 'scene_path'. The description itself adds no additional parameter meaning, so the baseline of 3 applies. The schema already handles parameter semantics adequately.

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 'Read Container layout' is essentially a tautology of the tool name 'read_container'. It provides a direct restatement without specifying what 'container layout' entails or how it differs from other read tools like read_scene or read_resource. No scope or distinguishing features are mentioned.

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?

There is no guidance whatsoever about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention context, prerequisites, or exclusions. It is a single phrase with no actionable usage instructions.

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