C2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full disclosure burden, and it supplies almost none. It does not say whether it sends a literal Enter keystroke versus a newline, whether it focuses the target window, what permissions are needed, or any error/retry behavior. Only the destination ('alla sessione') is conveyed.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The single sentence is short but under-specified rather than concise; it wastes the one sentence it has on restating the name instead of conveying actionable detail. There is nothing to front-load because no substantive content is present.

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

Completeness2/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, but for a keystroke-injection tool with no annotations and fully undocumented parameters, the description is far too thin. It omits prerequisites, behavior, and parameter meaning that an agent would need to call it correctly.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% for two required parameters, so the description must compensate, but it only obliquely references the 'session' parameter and says nothing about 'alias'. The distinction between alias and session — both required strings — is left completely undefined.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description 'Invia Invio alla sessione' is essentially the tool name (send_enter) restated verbatim in another language, so it adds no new information beyond the identifier. It also fails to distinguish itself from close siblings like send_keys, send_raw, and run_command, leaving the agent unable to tell which keystroke tool applies.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus send_keys, send_raw, or run_command, nor any stated prerequisites such as an active session or alias. The agent is left to infer usage entirely from the name.

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