game_camera_attributes

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

Annotations are minimal (only title), so the description carries the burden. It says 'Configure' implying mutation, but does not disclose side effects, permissions needed, or return value. It doesn't contradict annotations, but lacks behavioral details.

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 a single 10-word sentence that efficiently communicates the core purpose. It is concise and front-loaded, though no structured list or additional organization is needed for such a short description.

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?

With 7 parameters, no output schema, and minimal annotations, the description should provide more context. It does not explain what DOF or exposure terms mean, typical values, or what the result of configure is. Incomplete relative to tool complexity.

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 100% for 7 parameters, so the description adds minimal value beyond grouping them as DOF, exposure, auto-exposure. Baseline of 3 is appropriate since schema already documents each parameter.

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 uses a specific verb 'Configure' and clearly identifies the resource 'camera' with specific aspects (DOF, exposure, auto-exposure). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like game_get_camera and game_set_camera by focusing on attribute configuration.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no scenarios where it should not be used. For example, it doesn't mention if the camera must be selected or if this tool is for setting attributes on an existing camera.

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