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 states the action ('swipe') but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as whether it requires prior element identification, what happens on failure (e.g., if element not found), or any side effects (e.g., UI changes). This is a significant gap for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded and appropriately sized for its content, though it could be more informative. Every word earns its place by stating the core action concisely.

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?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and a mutation tool with 5 parameters, the description is incomplete. It lacks behavioral context (e.g., success/failure outcomes), usage guidelines, and doesn't compensate for the absence of structured fields, making it inadequate for reliable agent invocation.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all 5 parameters with descriptions and enums. The description adds no meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as explaining parameter interactions or usage examples. Baseline 3 is appropriate when schema does the heavy lifting.

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 'Swipe on a specific element' states a clear verb ('swipe') and target ('specific element'), but it's vague about what constitutes an 'element' (e.g., UI component) and doesn't distinguish it from sibling tools like 'swipe' or 'swipeOnScreen'. It provides basic purpose but lacks specificity for differentiation.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'swipe' or 'swipeOnScreen'. The description implies usage for swiping on elements, but there's no explicit context, exclusions, or prerequisites mentioned, leaving the agent to infer based on tool names alone.

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