fmod_ui_layoutType

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

Without annotations, the description carries full burden but fails to disclose that the tool can assign a new value (setter behavior). It only presents it as an enumeration, omitting the dual get/set functionality revealed by the schema parameter 'value'.

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?

The description is short (one sentence) and front-loaded, but the second part is unclear due to the ambiguous property reference. It earns its place but could be more precise.

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, the description should explain what happens when reading (returned value) and when setting (effect on layout). It does not address these behaviors, making it incomplete for effective tool use.

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?

Although schema coverage is 100%, the description adds no meaningful interpretation to the 'value' parameter. It references 'Possible values are: [property · ui.layoutType]' without clarifying actual allowed values or how they relate to layout types.

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?

The description states it is an enumeration for layout types within UI widget description of widgetType.Layout, which clearly indicates the tool's domain and distinguishes it from other fmod_ui_* tools like fmod_ui_alignment. However, the phrase 'Possible values are: [property · ui.layoutType]' is somewhat cryptic and could be clearer.

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?

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, lacks scenarios, and does not mention that the tool can both get and set the layout type. There is no advice on prerequisites or exclusions.

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