open_cloud_document

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

No annotations, so description must cover behavioral details. It only says 'Open a document'—no mention of authentication, side effects, return values, or what happens if the document is already open.

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?

Extremely concise: one sentence front-loaded with the core action. However, it may be too terse to be fully helpful, but it avoids fluff.

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?

Given low complexity (1 param, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate. It conveys the basic function but lacks specifics that an agent might need to decide to use it (e.g., document location requirements).

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 coverage is 100% for the single parameter, which has a clear description ('Cloud document ID'). The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, so baseline of 3 applies.

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 (Open) and the resource (document from Adobe Creative Cloud). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'open_document' (local) and 'save_document_to_cloud'.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites or context provided. The description merely states the action without usage context.

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