helpers_set_input_boolean

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden. It only states the basic action without disclosing any behavioral traits such as whether it requires permissions, whether it is reversible, or how it affects the system state. The description is insufficient for understanding side effects or constraints.

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 extremely concise: a single sentence of 7 words. It is front-loaded and communicates the core purpose without any filler. Every word earns its place.

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 the tool's simplicity (setting a boolean helper), the description covers the essential purpose. However, it lacks details like expected entity_id format, error handling, or return value. With an output schema present but not detailed in the description, the completeness is adequate but minimal.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description does not add any meaning to the parameters 'entity_id' or 'value'. The description simply repeats the tool's function without explaining what each parameter represents or how they should be used. This leaves a significant gap in understanding parameter usage.

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 clearly states the action ('Set') and the resource ('input_boolean'), and specifies the possible values ('true or false'). However, it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from sibling helpers like helpers_set_input_select or helpers_set_input_text, though the name itself provides differentiation.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions. The description is a simple statement without any contextual advice.

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