update_reminders

Turn the user's daily reminders on or off: the evening 'nothing logged today' nudge and the streak reminder. Same as the app's Notifications screen. Needs the user's "Change goals & settings" switch for this connection. The user is notified of the change.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate this is a non-read-only, non-destructive, closed-world update. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond annotations: the required connection permission and the fact that the user is notified of the change.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is three tight sentences with the main action front-loaded, followed by permission and notification details. There is no redundant or wasted text.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a three-parameter settings toggle with no output schema, it covers the essential effect, permission prerequisite, and user notification. The main remaining gap is that the boolean parameters are described conceptually rather than by name.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is only 33%, so the description needs to compensate. It explains the two reminder concepts but does not explicitly map them to the log_reminder and streak_reminder boolean parameters, and the timezone parameter is documented only in the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: turning the user's daily reminders on or off. It names both reminder types (evening nudge and streak reminder), which distinguishes it clearly from sibling logging and goal-update tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives useful context, including that this matches the app's Notifications screen and requires the 'Change goals & settings' switch. However, it does not explicitly say when to use this versus alternatives or when not to use it, leaving usage largely implied.

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