practicedescription
Use clear structure or delimiters inside a long description When a tool description needs to cover several distinct concerns -- what it does, when to use it, when not to, an example -- breaking it into clearly labeled or delimited sections (short paragraphs, a labeled "Example:" sentence, explicit "Do NOT use this for..." sentence) is easier for the model to parse reliably than one dense paragraph.
