Behavior2/5

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

The description does not mention any behavioral implications, such as the destructive nature indicated by the destructiveHint annotation. It merely states 'press' without elaborating on side effects or outcomes.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is a single short sentence with no unnecessary words, but it lacks detail to be fully useful. It is concise but under-specified.

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?

Given the destructive hint and lack of output schema, the description should explain the effect of pressing (e.g., triggering an action, potential risk). It does not, leaving the agent without essential behavioral context.

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?

The description only uses the parameter name 'button' without explaining valid values, format, or constraints. With 0% schema description coverage and no enums, the agent gets no additional meaning beyond the raw schema.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action (Press) and the target (specific button on the device). It distinguishes from sibling tools like Click and LongClick by implying a standard press, but does not explicitly contrast them.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as Click, LongClick, or other input actions. The description lacks context on prerequisites or scenarios.

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