Turn on recurring checks

enable_watch
Destructive

Turn on (or resume) an app's recurring check at the given frequency, within the team's plan. isError with code plan_limit when the plan does not allow it.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the description's added value is limited to the plan_limit error contract. Notably it does not explain why enabling is destructive — e.g. whether an existing schedule or quota is overwritten — which is the key thing an agent would want to know before calling.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two compact sentences, front-loaded with the action and followed by the failure mode. No padding, though the error-code sentence is somewhat terse and could be better integrated.

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 mutation with no output schema and rich annotations, the definition covers the action, the plan constraint, and the failure signal. Missing detail on the destructive semantics and on how 'manual' behaves keeps it short of complete.

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 coverage is 100%, so app_id, team, and frequency are already fully documented. The description adds only the plan-constraint framing and the 'resume' nuance, which the schema does not convey; baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Turn on (or resume) an app's recurring check') plus a frequency qualifier, so the agent knows exactly what state change occurs. It implicitly contrasts with disable_watch but never names a sibling to differentiate from near-neighbors like start_check, recheck, or get_check_status.

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 phrase 'within the team's plan' implies a precondition, and the plan_limit error hints at when it will fail. However, there is no explicit when-to-use guidance versus start_check or recheck, and no statement of what 'manual' frequency means in practice.

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