reset_analyzer_config

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that config is reset to defaults, but does not explain scope (e.g., affects all users or only current session), reversibility, or whether it prompts confirmation. As a destructive action, this is insufficient.

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?

Extremely concise single sentence that front-loads the purpose. However, for a reset action with optional params, a brief second sentence on the return or confirmation would improve completeness without losing conciseness.

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?

Simple tool with 2 optional params and no output schema. The description lacks critical details: what the return value is (e.g., confirmation, status), what happens to other configs during reset, and any side effects. Additional context is needed for safe invocation.

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 coverage is 100% with clear param descriptions. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate as schema handles documentation, but description misses interaction details (e.g., what happens if both params are omitted).

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?

Clearly states the verb 'Reset', resource 'analyzer configuration', and target 'to defaults'. It distinguishes from 'set_analyzer_config' (which applies specific values) and 'get_analyzer_config' (read), but does not explicitly name alternatives or contrast.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., set_analyzer_config for partial changes). No mention of prerequisites, caution, or when not to use. Context must be inferred.

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