organize_document_layers

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'organize and clean up' without revealing potential destructive actions (e.g., deleteEmptyLayers permanently removes layers) or the effects of merging. The parameters hint at behaviors but the description adds no context.

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 very concise (one sentence), but it is too brief and lacks structure. It could be more informative by front-loading key behaviors or providing an example. The brevity sacrifices clarity.

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 three boolean parameters with no output schema and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, confirm success, or detail the order of operations. An agent would need to infer behavior from parameter names alone.

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 100% description coverage for all three parameters, so the schema already explains what each boolean does. The description adds no additional semantic meaning beyond 'organize and clean up', which is a vague umbrella. Baseline score of 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' clearly indicates the resource (document layers) and the action (organize and clean up), which aligns with the parameters for sorting, deleting empty layers, and merging similar layers. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like create_layer or list_layers.

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 usage guidance is provided. The description does not state when to use this tool versus alternatives such as manual layer manipulation or specific tools like delete_layer. An explicit context or exclusion would improve clarity.

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