Manage WiFi Interface

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. Description adds 'Enable, disable, or update' which aligns but doesn't elaborate on side effects or consequences. Acceptable given annotations.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with action, no wasted words. Constraint stated concisely.

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?

Given 6 parameters and destructive+idempotent annotations, description covers core actions and constraint but lacks details on return values or errors. Adequate but not rich.

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?

Schema descriptions cover all parameters, but the tool description adds the valuable constraint that at least one of disabled or ssid is required, which is not in the schema itself. This compensates for baseline.

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?

Description clearly states it enables, disables, or updates SSID on a WiFi interface, distinguishing it from read-only list tools like list_wifi_interfaces. The resource and actions are specific.

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?

Provides a clear constraint ('at least one of disabled or ssid must be provided') implying when to use (modify settings). Does not explicitly mention when not to use or compare to siblings, but context with sibling list_wifi_interfaces is clear.

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