Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and description only says 'seek to a specific position'. Does not disclose if seeking overrides playback, triggers any events, or how unit defaults affect behavior.
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?
Single sentence is concise, but too minimal—lacks necessary details for an agent to understand usage. Could be expanded 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?
Given no output schema, description should explain return behavior (e.g., void or status). Also missing explanation of unit enum and relationship to song structure. Sibling context indicates more detail needed.
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 0%, description adds no information about the 'position' or 'unit' parameters. No explanation of units (seconds, bars, ticks) or constraints beyond schema defaults.
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 action 'Seek' and resource 'specific position in the song', distinguishing it from sibling tools like transport_jog (incremental) and transport_play (start playback).
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 like transport_jog or transport_set_loop_mode. No mention of prerequisites or context (e.g., playback stopped vs playing).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
