Diff two nmap scans to surface new hosts/ports/services. Defensive/authorized-testing tool: analysis and change-detection only.
Single tool with minimal definition quality. Tool name 'nmapdiff_scan' lacks action verb clarity (should be 'scan_nmap_diff' or similar). Description is present (67 chars) but generic and lacks WHEN/WHY guidance. Input schema exists but severely incomplete: only 'target' parameter with minimal description ('Target path or identifier for scan', vague, no format/constraint guidance). No output schema documented. No error handling guidance. No parameter validation rules stated. Tool does not follow verb_noun pattern clearly and lacks LLM-optimized description structure.
Diff two scans to surface new hosts/ports/services. Returns JSON findings.
Tool name lacks clear action verb. 'nmapdiff_scan' is ambiguous, does it scan, diff, or both? Should follow verb_noun pattern (e.g., 'scan_nmap_diff' or 'diff_nmap_scans').
Input schema critically incomplete. 'target' parameter lacks type definition (inferred as string but not explicit in schema), no format constraints, no enum/pattern, no min/max length, no examples of valid values. Description is vague ('Target path or identifier'), does it accept file paths, URLs, hostnames, or scan IDs?
No output schema documented. Tool returns 'JSON findings' but LLM cannot infer structure. What fields are in the response? Is it {findings: [], score: int}? Are there error cases? Undocumented output forces LLMs to guess and breaks downstream tool chaining.

Description lacks WHEN/WHY context. Current: 'Diff two scans to surface new hosts/ports/services. Returns JSON findings.' Does not explain: When should LLM call this vs other tools? What are prerequisites? What does 'target' mean in context? Baseline for A+ tools is 50-200 chars with clear intent.
No error handling guidance. Tool provides no recovery hints for common failures (file not found, invalid format, permission denied, scan timeout). LLM cannot self-correct or retry intelligently.
