sdd-init

Initialize a governed SDD feature by creating a specification with feature name, description, and optional clarification answers to enable spec-first development.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It says 'Initialize' but does not disclose what initialization entails (e.g., creating files, validating, requiring auth, side effects). This lack of transparency is a significant gap.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is extremely short (one sentence), but this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. It omits essential information while providing no structure or detail that would help an agent.

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

Completeness2/5

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

The tool has 4 parameters, a nested object, and no output schema, yet the description provides almost no context. Given the complexity and lack of annotations, the description is far from complete to support correct invocation.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is only 25%, and the tool description adds no parameter guidance. The schema only documents featureName; other parameters like clarificationAnswers and language lack meaningful descriptions. The description does not compensate for the low coverage.

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 uses a specific verb 'Initialize' and names a resource 'governed SDD feature', which is clear about the action and target. However, it does not distinguish this from sibling tools like sdd-requirements or sdd-design, and 'governed SDD feature' is somewhat vague without elaboration.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description provides no context such as prerequisites, workflow position, or situations where this tool is appropriate, leaving the agent to guess.

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