control_hall_sensor_statistics

Reset and enable or disable hall sensor statistics gathering for a motor, returning success confirmation.

Instructions

Turn on or off the gathering of statistics for the hall sensors and reset the statistics [Firmware command "Control hall sensor statistics", group: Status & Monitoring.] Parameters:

  • control: 0 = turn off statistics gathering, 1 = reset statistics and turn on gathering. Returns: success confirmation. motor: an alias number (e.g. 88), a 16-hex-digit unique ID (e.g. "0123456789ABCDEF"), or "all" to broadcast to every motor on the bus (broadcasts get no responses back).

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of explaining side effects. It clearly discloses that the command turns statistics on/off, resets them when control=1, and that broadcasts produce no responses. Minor omissions: no error behavior or consequences of resetting, but core mutating behavior is transparent.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence)Skip firmware metadata, the parameter detail is organized and readable. Slight redundancy (duplicating the command name and parameter list) prevents a perfect score.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the minimal schema and absence of annotations, the description covers invocation semantics, parameter values, and return behavior. It lacks only guidance on when to choose this tool over siblings and what a 'success confirmation' looks like precisely.

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

Parameters5/5

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

The schema lists only types and required flags, so the description provides all real meaning. It fully documents control values (0/1), the three accepted motor identifier formats, and the broadcast no-response caveat.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description opens with a specific and unambiguous action:

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as reading the statistics or other hall-sensor commands. It explains mechanics but not decision context, so an agent gets no usage direction.

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