organize_document_layers

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states 'organize and clean up' but does not clarify that this is a mutation operation making permanent changes, nor does it mention undo capabilities, permission requirements, or default behavior when all parameters are false.

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 concise sentence. It is minimally adequate but could be expanded to include more context. For a simple tool, it earns its place, though it is not as informative as it could be.

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 the tool has no output schema and simple parameters, the description is somewhat complete for basic understanding. However, it lacks information about return values, side effects, and edge cases, which would be needed for full confidence in usage.

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% and each parameter has a clear description. The tool description adds no extra semantic value beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 'Organize and clean up document layers' provides a verb+resource that is fairly specific, especially when combined with the parameter names (deleteEmptyLayers, mergeSimilarLayers, sortLayers). However, it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from siblings like 'cleanup_document' or manual layer management, leaving some ambiguity.

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 is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as deleting layers individually or using 'cleanup_document'. There is no mention of prerequisites, appropriate contexts, or when not to use it.

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