toggle_animations

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

Annotations already disclose that this is a non-destructive, non-read-only, closed-world mutation. The description adds the important behavioral detail that the tool flips state rather than accepting a desired state parameter, but it does not say whether it returns the new state or what happens if Hyprland is unavailable.

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

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

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It immediately states the action and the target resource.

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

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

For a zero-parameter toggle tool with no output schema and annotations covering safety, the description is nearly complete. It is slightly thin on prerequisites (Hyprland availability) and whether the resulting state is reported back.

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

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

The input schema has zero parameters, so there is no parameter semantics burden on the description. Baseline score of 4 applies because nothing is missing at the parameter level.

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

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

The description uses a specific verb ("toggle") and names the resource ("Hyprland animations"), making the effect clear. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from the generic set_hypr_option sibling, but no other sibling is dedicated to animations.

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

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

Usage is implied by the word "toggle": the tool flips animation state without a parameter. However, the description gives no explicit guidance on when to use it versus set_hypr_option or what prerequisites exist (e.g., Hyprland must be running).

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