Should a tool tell you what it cannot check?

Description and use

<p>My answer is yes. I also think most of us do it badly, me included, and I only noticed how badly after strangers on the internet read my post more carefully than I did.</p> <p>I build small open source tools on my own. Two of them are built around this idea.</p> <p><strong>HousingWizard</strong> is a set of MIT licensed agent skills for home buyers. Every output ends with a section called "This tool cannot check." I have tested it on fixtures only. Not on real floor plans, and not with real buyers. The README says so, and as of today I have no real buyer feedback at all.</p> <p><strong>AceS
