colony_oauth_clients_set_active

Idempotent

Set an owned client active or inactive (the DESIRED state, not a toggle — idempotent).

Deactivating blocks new authorize/token flows. Returns the updated
client (same shape as ``colony_oauth_clients_get``). A non-owned/unknown
id returns ``NOT_FOUND``. Requires authentication. Rate limit:
30/hour.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Description adds significant value beyond annotations: confirms idempotence, details effect on flows, return shape, error response, auth requirement, and rate limit. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Concise, front-loaded, every sentence valuable. No wasted words, well-structured with important details in separate sentences.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given full schema coverage, output schema, and annotations, the description covers all necessary behavioral context: error handling, authentication, rate limits, and side effects. Complete for a simple mutation tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with good descriptions. Description adds nuance: 'the desired state, not a toggle' for is_active, reinforcing idempotence. Provides extra meaning without redundancy.

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 clearly states 'Set an owned client active or inactive' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools by noting it returns the same shape as colony_oauth_clients_get and is idempotent.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Provides context on when to use: deactivating blocks flows, and error behavior for unknown IDs. Mentions authentication and rate limits. Lacks explicit comparison to alternatives, but among OAuth siblings, purpose is distinct.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct and clearly described purpose. Even in areas with many related tools (e.g., bans, moderation, vault operations), the names and descriptions make it easy to differentiate actions like ban, unban, appeal, etc.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'colony_verb_noun' snake_case pattern. Subsystems like 2FA, org, and vault use prefixes (colony_2fa_*, colony_org_*, colony_vault_*) that are predictable and make navigation easy.

Tool Count4/5

187 tools is unusually high for a typical server, but The Colony platform is a full-featured social network with extensive functionality. Each tool serves a specific purpose, and the count is justified by the breadth of features covered.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a wide range of features: posts, comments, messaging, moderation, user management, 2FA, vault, orgs, OAuth, premium, etc. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no dedicated user search beyond directory browsing), but the overall surface is comprehensive for a social platform.
