Generate VIPMP request snippet

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

Beyond the safe readOnly/idempotent annotations, the description discloses the body fallback behavior: supplied bodies are used as-is, omitted bodies on POST/PATCH/PUT are built from the schema with dummy values, and the snippet shows the minimum valid shape. It also makes language behavior explicit. No contradictions with the annotations.

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?

Well-structured: purpose first, then usage context, then inline parameter docs, then a compact example. No filler; the extra sentences all add actionable information.

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 3-parameter code-generation tool with an output schema, the description covers all inputs, the placeholder-body behavior, and language options. It doesn't discuss invalid endpoint handling or authentication, but those are edge concerns given the clear scope.

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?

Even though schema description coverage is 0%, every parameter is explained with format or behavior: endpoint as 'METHOD /path', body_json with its fallback rule, and language with the full enum list and default. The example demonstrates a valid invocation.

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?

Opening sentence names a specific verb ('Emit') and resource ('runnable code snippet for a VIPMP endpoint'), and the example anchors it to a concrete call like 'POST /v3/customers'. This makes it easy to distinguish from documentation/validation siblings such as get_vipmp_code_examples or describe_vipmp_endpoint.

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 'Useful for "give me a starting point for calling POST /v3/customers"' line gives a clear situation for using the tool. It doesn't explicitly list when-not-to-use or name alternatives, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

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