watchface_onoff_screen

Turns a Divoom LAN device screen on or off by sending an OnOff command (1=on, 0=off).

Instructions

Call Channel/OnOffScreen with OnOff (1=on, 0=off). For AstroToo, first query hardware/capabilities; use the 480x480 AstroToo resources. Legacy 800x1280 examples and typography apply only to TimesFrame.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
onOffYes1 turns screen on, 0 turns screen off.
targetNoOptional per-call target override. If omitted, environment variables are used.

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
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 leaves most of it unaddressed: no statement of side effects, required auth, rate limits, failure modes, or what a successful response looks like. The device-routing notes are useful context but are about target selection, not about behavior of the operation itself.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the core operation, which is good. But the trailing clause about 'Legacy 800x1280 examples and typography' is largely irrelevant to a screen-power toggle and spends the description's limited budget on tangential asset guidance.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description should at least indicate the nature of confirmation/response. It does supply the multi-device routing context needed to call the nested target correctly, but stops short of covering outcomes or errors.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already explains onOff, host, port, model, hardware, and timeoutMs thoroughly; the description's '1=on, 0=off' merely restates the enum. It does add marginal meaning by tying model choice to resource dimensions ('480x480 AstroToo', '800x1280 ... only to TimesFrame'), so baseline 3 holds.

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 names a specific operation and resource: 'Call Channel/OnOffScreen with OnOff (1=on, 0=off)', which tells an agent exactly what happens (screen power state change). It also scopes model behavior (AstroToo vs TimesFrame legacy), though it never explicitly distinguishes this tool from the dedicated pixoo64_onoff_screen and timegate_onoff_screen siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It gives one real procedural prerequisite: 'For AstroToo, first query hardware/capabilities; use the 480x480 AstroToo resources.' However, there is no guidance on when to pick this generic tool versus the model-specific on/off siblings, which is the most likely selection confusion for an agent.

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