create_dovetail

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

No annotations exist, so the description should fully disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions 'Dimensions in mm' but does not state whether the operation is destructive, reversible, or what side effects occur (e.g., creating new components). This leaves significant behavioral uncertainty.

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 short (one sentence) and front-loaded with the core purpose. However, for a tool with 10 parameters, more detail is warranted. It is concise but under-specified, earning a middle score.

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's complexity (10 parameters, no annotations, an output schema) the description is severely incomplete. It lacks usage examples, parameter explanations, output description, and any guidance on when to invoke this tool. The agent is ill-equipped to use it correctly.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description needed to explain parameters. It only hints that numeric parameters are in mm but does not clarify the meaning of 'width', 'height', 'depth', 'angle', or offset values. The agent cannot infer the purpose of each parameter from the description alone.

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 verb 'Create' and the resource 'dovetail joint between two components', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_finger_joint or create_mortise_tenon. It is specific and unambiguous.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor are there any prerequisites or scenarios where this tool is appropriate. The agent is left without context to choose between dovetail, finger joint, or mortise and tenon.

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