DNS-DATA Remote

setup_macos_device

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get Apple Silicon macOS setup information, official download URL and npm launcher command for pairing a new DNS-DATA device. Returns instructions only; does not execute installation or pair hardware. The launcher window controls the online session.

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful behavior beyond that: it returns instructions only, does not execute installation or pair hardware, and notes the launcher window controls the online session.

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?

Three tight sentences with the substantive output (setup info, download URL, npm launcher command) front-loaded, followed by the non-execution caveat. No filler.

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 zero-param, no-output-schema informational tool, the description covers what is returned and what the tool will not do. It could briefly indicate the expected next step in the pairing flow, but nothing essential is missing.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline 4 applies. The description correctly signals that no arguments are needed.

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?

States a specific verb (Get) and resource (Apple Silicon macOS setup information, download URL, npm launcher command) plus the use case (pairing a new DNS-DATA device). The macOS scope implicitly separates it from the sibling setup_windows_device.

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?

The description frames the use case ('for pairing a new DNS-DATA device') and clarifies it does not itself pair hardware, which hints at the sibling approve_device_pairing. However, it never explicitly names an alternative or states when to prefer one tool over the other, leaving the routing to inference.

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