condosplit_init

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It explicitly states that the tool creates a file and details the default structure, which is good. However, it does not mention whether it overwrites an existing condo.config.json, what happens if the directory is invalid, or whether it returns any confirmation.

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 compact sentence that wastes no words. It front-loads the action and resource, then packs the essential default configuration details into one clause, all without redundancy.

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?

For a tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description is largely complete: it explains what is created, where it is created, and what the default contents are. It could be slightly more complete by stating behavior on existing files, but for a simple init operation the essential context is present.

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 schema already fully describes project_dir as the absolute or relative path with a default of the current directory, so schema coverage is 100%. The description's phrase 'nella directory specificata' merely echoes the schema without adding new semantics or format details. 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 states a specific verb ('Inizializza'), a clear resource ('progetto condominiale'), and the concrete output it produces ('crea condo.config.json con la struttura di default'). It also specifies the default structure (4 piani + piano terra, 2 interni per piano, 3 tipi di spesa predefiniti), which clearly differentiates this tool from siblings like condosplit_split or condosplit_coordinates.

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?

The description clearly conveys when to use the tool: when initializing a condominium project and creating the default configuration file in a target directory. It does not explicitly list alternatives or exclusions, but the verb 'Inizializza' and the mention of creating the config file provide enough context to distinguish it from the other condosplit tools.

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